Pros

One of the leaders in the field of IT sales. Potential for extremely high income. The Chicago location is a great place to work. Benefits are good. Also, there is a variety of fringe benefits, such as free happy hours, free lunch, free outings, and prizes, to name a few.

Cons

The Dallas location is a terrible place to work. If you want to work for CDW, move to Chicago. The biggest Con lies squarely on the leaders in the Dallas office. The leadership in Dallas is lazy, ego driven, and is incapable of helping their staff improve/succeed. They don't seem to be motivated to be good leaders , they're more focused on their job security. Career development, or assistance in growing your sales acumen, is non-existent in Dallas. Hard work by a sales rep is not rewarded in Dallas. This is a named account environment and if management provides a bad account with no potential, then you will not make money. The managers will not put effort into fixing this issue.

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.
