Pros

Lots of free food and sweets. Culture of young people. Easy to make new friends. Free stuff (binders, IT stuff from partners) A good first career step to gaining office experience. Good for those who like sales.

Cons

A sales job. Minimum 50 calls a day. Rejection. Stuck in front of the computer. Highly competitive culture. Managers aren't helpful because they know most people leave the job within 6 months to a year. Not much ability to move up except maybe marketing.

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.
