Pros

Sirius was an awesome place to work - great pay, benefits, generous vacation, and management who didn't micromanage you. I really thought senior management was in it for the long haul and that perhaps Sirius would go the IPO route one day. Instead, I woke up one day in October to find out we were being acquired by CDW.

Cons

As far as Sirius, the only real con I can think of is the workload - we were very busy and under resourced. Our direct managers were awesome though and really tried to help. As far as CDW, I obviously can't judge that yet, but I see lots of signs which worry me. I won't go into detail, but suffice it to say, CDW's benefits and PTO are an embarrassment compared to what we had at Sirius. I seriously don't understand how CDW attracts talent given the large number of companies out there who offer far better comp packages. Had I interviewed with CDW and been shown their benefits, PTO, etc, I would have immediately moved on.

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.
