Pros

Great environment with good flexibility overall. Company is growing, expanding and profitable. My office is very close to my home which makes it even better for me.

Cons

The compensation package continues to make changes for the worse. I've had years with very similar sales results and my comp package produced 25% less income with the same sales. Quotas (Goals) are unrealistic and therefore reps are penalized for not hitting goals which have sometimes been as high as an expectation of a 60% increase in sales from one year to the next.

Pros

You have the ability to sell full stack solutions, services and software.

Cons

I have worked at CDW for 10yrs and every single year they have changed the comp plan in a way that makes it harder for sellers to make money (constantly moving the goal post). Prior to 2020 CDW had little to no lay offs now it is happening every six months. They say the reasons is to reduce cost and improve efficiencies BUT as a company our sales continue to grow along with the C-levels pockets.
