Pros

The IT companies we sold for would provide things like lunches out and in the building, breakfasts and great shwag. The business itself had a great bonus plan to start too.

Cons

So so many! The place was a meat market. Everyone is messing with someone whom they AREN'T married to or in a relationship with. It's a constant state of sexual tension. It's disgusting. Next, the quota they expect you to make is not even close to realistic, and it DOUBLES EVERYDAY... they don't have enough clients in the CM mgmt program, or most are taken by people who've been there forever. The amount of cold calls and talk time is ludicrous too.

Pros

-Vacation was good, health insurance was decent -Perfect for a new grad or anybody looking to dive into Sales/tech industry

Cons

-Leadership : A lot of fluff coming down from Tim and other higher management on direction of company -Pay: below industry standards , commission percentage is awful -If you are in the Chicago market,good luck getting feet off the ground. Very hard to break into CDW strongholds and good buying accounts that may be available always go to tenured reps -CRM tool: it sucks, it’s outdated, and glitchy
