Pros

Pro- If you work hard and hang in there, it is financially rewarding. CDWG takes care of there perfomers and people who leave usually regret it. The pay is only 25K a year for base so you must hit goal to be compensated for it. But if you hit it consistentaly, your commission checks will be about 12-22K a month. Plus the atmosphere is energetic and you get some great friends along the way. Vendors also have trip contests and there are spiffs so the compensation is high

Cons

A complete sales organization that micromanages. Numbers are constantly monitored and the goals are monthly so they do go up. The resources are running thin and you do run into issues where you just can't compete at the same level as your competitors.

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.
