Pros

-Good work life balance. -Coworkers can be considered friends. -Some decent perks ( but less and less competitive).

Cons

-Limited Pay and opportunity for non sales advancement. -Incompetent mid -high level players who got in when the company was young and now have a pass the buck attitude. -Unprofessional frat club environment at times (Sales though, so its expected) -More and more people are going through the motions. A carrot here or there would be better than nothing. -Pay, 401k matching seems to be 30 percent lower than other people I know in indentical careers. -Locked in mentality that limits incentive.

Pros

You have the ability to sell full stack solutions, services and software.

Cons

I have worked at CDW for 10yrs and every single year they have changed the comp plan in a way that makes it harder for sellers to make money (constantly moving the goal post). Prior to 2020 CDW had little to no lay offs now it is happening every six months. They say the reasons is to reduce cost and improve efficiencies BUT as a company our sales continue to grow along with the C-levels pockets.
