CDW reviews

This firm struggles with serious management issues at the top. Its primary strategy revolves around cutting costs—often at the expense of employees. Benefits are reduced, compensation is minimized, and leadership plays games that feel disingenuous. For example, they refer to the CEO and senior VPs as “co-workers,” as if that terminology creates a sense of equality, when in reality it does nothing meaningful for employees. Their approach to benefits illustrates this further. The company contributes a mere $0.50 toward vision insurance so recruiters can technically claim CDW offers “vision and dental,” even though the firm contributes almost nothing. The 401(k) policy is another example: employees must complete an entire year of service to qualify, and the employer contribution isn’t paid until the following August. Even then, the match is minimal—often just a few hundred dollars—designed more to delay and minimize costs than to support employees’ retirement.

Base pay is not high enough
