Pros

The ability to determine your own career path. Many people complain about the amount of pressure put on account managers to perform. I'll admit its not something I relish but it is good for CDW and more importantly me. The push for higher performance will directly effect my ability to sell and then get paid more. So if they are pushing me to do more and I get more out of it how can I complain.

Cons

Its a tough place to try and work the required minimum shift. You really need more time to get the job done right. This would be less of a problem if I didn't live so far from work. That is my decision though so again not CDW's problem. This being said the whole work/life balance is tough for me to achieve.

Pros

Learn the intangibles of relationship based sales. Great people, great atmosphere, plenty of challenges on a daily basis! Not for the faint of heart or unmotivated.

Cons

Low base pay, would not be able to make ends meet if I lived in the city. Looking at it as a light at the end of the tunnel scenario that the knowledge and experience will pay handsomely well before the commissions start rolling in.

Pros

The opportunity to work with some of the most talented technical Cisco and Microsoft engineers in the country. It is a tight-knit group committed to sharing knowledge and experience with their peer group. We have very well developed repeatable processes which are critical for ensuring consistency across the different regions that have CDW Berbee professional services offices. The strategy is to move to a national model for professional services, which opens up other opportunities for relocation and working in larger cities, if that is what you prefer. I have also had the opportunity to work with Microsoft to help shape new products before they are rolled out to the larger market.

Cons

hard to maintain work-life balance - there is always something happening and its hard not to get pulled in.
