Pros

From the top down they truly care about their coworkers. They are a charitable organization that fosters an environment of giving back to the community and to those in need.

Cons

CDW is a growing company that is experiencing its share of growing pains. CDW is a highly risk averse company and while this is good to a certain extent we need risk takers and rainmakers.

Pros

I work with customer projects. Very flexible with work/life balance. Challenging and interesting job, days are never the same and workdays and weeks fly by. Great middle management and training. Encourages employees to reach their goals, full potential. Lots of room for internal growth (in some departments). Salary is very reasonable. Coworkers are incredibly friendly, smart, and quirky all around.

Cons

Confusing intranet site setup. Though salary is great, spend lots of hours outside of the office "doing homework" on your own; hit the gas or get run over. Titles/certifications of others is completely unclear and listed very vaguely. I'm very outgoing and "Type A". Unfortunately, as a relatively new employee, I've found "negative" comments about me that have been brought to my attention by my manager completely disheartening and upsetting. My sense of humor has come up, and the joke questioned has left me afraid to say anything at all to upper management for fear that my character will be misconstrued.

Pros

Senior management is knowledgeable and passionate about meeting and exceeding performance goals. I trust they will continue to grow the company thereby creating additional opportunites for coworkers to meet their career goals.

Cons

In some cases, managers do not hold coworkers accountable to meet goals and expectations which may cause difficulty or hardship for others. While I don't think this is an overall organizational issue, I do think their are 'pockets' within the company that can benefit from focusing more on accountability.
