CDW reviews

Do not get stuck in Marketing Operations! No opportunity for advancement. Leadership only hires externally and raises are RARE. Year end increases don’t even cover inflation. You will be paid less then the market will pay you, with the explanation of “but with benefits included” even though every company has pretty much caught up to CDW with benefits.

Trainers speak broken english as a second language. Coworkers and immediate supervisors will openly mock and insult you for not knowing what they already know in their 20+ years of experience. If you don't walk talk and act like everyone else they will bully and harass you until they run you out. HR and upper management will ignore you when you bring up the harassment and abhorrent behavior of coworkers and direct supervisors. The clique of hispanic 20+ year employees are dug in deep and will do whatever it takes to maintain the status quo of mediocrity. One of the worst experiences of my life. My last hours there, at the vernon hills in illinois location, I felt I was in imanent physical harm. To put it another way - I was descriminated against due to my appearence. I'm a reasonably healthy, non-obese individual who tries to eat healthy. Had I documented the harassment better, if I had money to pay for lawyers or felt comfortable in that whole legal system I'd think about pressing charges (after building more of a case first). But I I have none of those things. CDW hires sheep. They want the most vulnerable individuals in society (undocumented, hearing impaired, indebted students, wage-slave parents, elderly etc) to quietly toil away while nary raising a peep or causing any waves. I say this because how I was completely ignored when I brought up how the good ol' hispanic boys were treating me. This is about the pick-pack department closest to the entrance of where the warehouse employees enter. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. If you love to shmooze - have at it, and good luck to you. There were a few handful of decent, patient, & understanding folks in my section - yes, but they were greatly outnumbered by the 'indifferent', the meek & the haters. There is no mistaking when you have been marked. Document well and keep your head up.
