Pros

Oppurtunity for growth and advancement. They have spiff programs and constant vendor giveaways including parties and prizes. Lunch is often free and they have bagels and donuts 3 days a week. The culture is young and dynamic but a bit on the frat boy side. Most of the people you work with will end up being your best friends do to the shared stress and sheer time spent together.

Cons

Work week is 50+ hours. If you are inside sales you sit at your computer for about 7 hours a day. You are plugged into your headset and are expected to have about 2-3 hours of talk time. Work day can become monotous. You are expected to attend all training on your own time.

Pros

Great benefits, at least until the CDW merger. The opportunity to work with the brightest and most talented Cisco/Microsoft engineers in the industry. The Engineers do a great deal of knowledge sharing and taking care of each other.

Cons

Horrible communication. No clear method of promotions. The professional services (Berbee) area of CDW was run like a sales warehouse and not like a professional services organization.

Pros

You have an opportunity to earn a lot of money in sales. Other positions are average pay.

Cons

No work life balance No matter what the goals is, your never there They keep changing compensation They keep taking accounts from Sales Directors, Sr. Directors, Bill Weaver are very disconnected from what has made CDW great They are turing the place into a bunch of average to below average sales people It looks like HP and Dell from an inside perspective People are leaving in huge numbers and Management does not care
