Pros

There is room for growth, but internal politics is thick. If you can work through the politics you will go far, but other wise your room for growth is limited. After the buyout by CDW, we are treated like warehouse employees. Our benefits were slashed, and compensation is sub par. CDW does not understand that professional services workers are highly specialized and need to be rewarded for their skills, otherwise we will leave.

Cons

Professional services division misunderstood by CDW management.

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.
