Pros

Company is very stable, great place to work when you are raising a family and need stability. Top leadership seems to have good vision and company has been outperforming peers and the industry compared to traditional IT infrastructure vendors. Never had any issues with requesting time off to support family with young kids, dealing with child illness, etc. Never feel any pressure when I need some time for personal issues, which isn't always the case in this industry. The company is filled with a lot of genuinely nice and helpful people, don't have to deal with backstabbing co-workers.

Cons

Company can be very slow to change, there is some bureaucracy as one would expect working for any large company, and pay may not be top-tier but it's OK and as I mentioned there are other benefits to working here in terms of stability and quality of the people.

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.
