Pros

The culture is very positive and provides a lot of recognition for your hard work, emphasis on hard work. Due to the nature of the industry the job can be challenging, but in a good way. You are constantly learning and bettering your skills. The team I work with is great and some of them are likely family to me.

Cons

Not a place for those who want an "easy" job.

Pros

The 1.5 Years with CDW have been the best working experience of my life. The culture here breeds success. From the day I was hired, everyone here has been invested in my success. It started with Onboarding(Orientation) where CEO Tom Richards took time from his day to speak to the group of new recruits I was hired in with and continues to this day with the Managers and Engineers I work with on a daily basis. Being in the Associate Consulting Engineer program has been an amazing experience. They take people like myself with limited experience in the IT field and train you to be a successful consulting engineer. If you are looking to get paid to learn to do a job you will love, this "job" is for you. I could write another 5 paragraphs easy and not scratch the surface of how great this job is but I want to get back to enjoying it myself.

Cons

Schedule can be erratic at times. 50 hours one week 35 the next.

Pros

A fully-paid apprenticeship-style program allows me to learn valuable skills and make a decent living without having to waste time and money pursuing a college degree. All the coworkers are friendly and very professional. Managers are demanding, but also helpful and understanding. A great place to work if you like different and changing environments, and like to keep learning. As the company moves more into services, job security for engineers should increase.

Cons

This is no 9-to-5. Different jobs require different hours, so work-life scheduling is a challenge. There is a steep learning curve for people new to IT. If you have a hard time learning on your own, or you don't know how to research, you could have a difficult and frustrating time.
