Pros

good place to get started in the IT reselling industry. the big name is good to put on your resume for future career opportunities.

Cons

salary is way below industry standard. 25k base is impossible to live on in the dc metro area. this job is good for someone who just graduated from college and still lives with their parents.

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.
