Pros

ACE is an entry level position that incorporates training. The training involves acquiring certs as well as on the job training with Senior Consulting Engineers. CDW works with you to improve yourself and define your career path. Fantastic culture and access to several training resources. In most cases you'll be working from home which was a huge pro for me. Work with top clients on the latest technology. In addition to that you'll also receive great compensation, including a quarterly bonus, and benefits. It sounded too good to be true but it wasn't.

Cons

I don't think this is a con but it might be to others. Depending on your skill set you may have to put in extra hours during the ACE program to grasp the technologies you are learning.

Pros

Competitive compensation, constant free training, managers who sincerely care about your personal growth, opportunities for upward mobility

Cons

CDW is, and will always be, a sales oriented company and has been since its founding in the early 80's. Because of this there exists some tension between the engineering teams and the sales teams. Very often our customers are sold a package that leaves the engineer scratching their heads. It seems like the sales team is looking after their own bottom line and not the customer. There needs to be better communication between sales and engineering teams for this company to be taken to the next level. It's not all about the bottom line.
