Pros

Room for advancement into management if desired. It is also OK if you don't want to be a manager. Great working environment and great people. It is rare to see people in technology stay with a company as long as they do at CDW. My manager, who is the greatest boss I have EVER had, has been with CDW for almost 20 years.

Cons

It is a SALES company. Every job has the purpose of generating sales, either directly or indirectly. Not really a con, but a reality of a public sales company.

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.
