Pros

Success at CDW is determined just as it's always been, based on how hard you want to work. Work really hard, make a lot of money. 2009 was tough for everybody, but the model has not changed.

Cons

2009 was an opportunity for CDW to knock out some of our weaker competitors, given our financial security. We were not as aggressive as we could have been.

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.
