Pros

The benefits are pretty good. The training is solid. The technology is obviously top notch. The discount on technology is also nice.

Cons

For those who are depending upon commission, the competition probably gives a better rate of commission. You are micromanaged and your manager may make your life a living hell. Cannot really price match the competition if you want to make a sale.

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.
