      Pros

      You have some control on your day. Lunches are supplied by partners.

      Cons

      CDW is a huge corporation that uses new hires and ARs as Bottom-feeders to support the rest of the company. You make a below livable Salary and are given a starter book that consists of angry customers that don't spend with CDW anymore for numerous reasons. Commission scale is set up to have you pay back your first year's salary to CDW in the first 6 months based on the 3% of the profit you will be earning. Profit is also very hard to attain since Amazon and other big players offer the same stuff for A LOT cheaper. This company is the definition of churn and burn when it comes to new hires. If you like feeding a huge corporate whale and watching CDW take all of your profits and hard earned commissions your first 3 years then this job is for you!

      Pros

      We all help each other to win unlike any other organization I've worked for. I've never seen an organization support their "coworkers" like CDW has. Management is excellent, supportive and not breathing down our neck but of course have expectations. Leadership is visible. The other day I got off the elevator and the CEO, Chris Leahy, was there which startled me to the point I didn't have words for her. Just be prepared to engage with variety of people often and you'll be successful here.

      Cons

      None at the moment. I could always get more pay but not real cons. If I owned a business, I'd model it after CDW in part.

      Pros

      Some good people still left there, but dwindling quickly. That's really it...the few decent coworkers left.

      Cons

      The great culture of the past is gone. Shareholder value is the only important metric now, and tenure/performance don't hold any value anymore to the EC. CDW is a shell of what it used to be for employee satisfaction across the board.
