Pros

Work with top talent that know how to drive sales execution and amazing customer satisfaction. CDI has been a huge strategic partner for me when I worked on the manufacturer side and after many years I made the switch. It's been one of the best changes in my life! Company is literally growing right in front of my eyes and everyone truly cares and wants to see the best for every employee.

Cons

Like any other career, this takes hard work and dedication and sometimes you wish there was more time in the day.

Pros

I have been at CDI for 10 years for good reason, the culture. I believe strongly in working hard to achieve my goals and live by the term discipline equals freedom. Throughout the last ten years I have seen CDI, and my own career in the industry grow exponentially. From consistently progressing my own acumen, helping grow others on the teams and seeing us quadruple in size… it’s been a lot of fun. Along the way, I have been afforded many opportunities in leadership paths, financial opportunities, and more freedom to influence direction within CDI and our clients (a lot of whom have become lifelong friends). Similarly, I have always had access to the executive team, as all employees do…well before I was a contributing member to it. All this mixed with a family atmosphere where the CEO on down, care about there employees are why I have invested a decade of time helping CDI grow into what it is today. This review is real, I can assure that all people who invest in CDI are rewarded for their efforts in return and then some. CDI truly is a place to work and keeps getting better.

Cons

The con of working at CDI is often the individual themselves and our average tenure proves it. CDI is a family and acts that way. At times people expect work to be more like a place where you hang out for 40ish hours a week, do the bare minimum, and expect a handout in the form a raise merely for tenure. Systems in the past for tracking all employee’s growth are continually improved, but sometimes its just not soon enough for the wrong people. It is my view that people who seek out websites such as this merely to report their bad individual experience (there will always be some) are not people I would personally put much weight behind. If you are looking for a place to chill out with great benefits for doing the bare minimum with no actual ownership… look elsewhere
