Pros

CDW is a growing company that likes to promote within. Relationships with vendors afford opportunities for Account Managers to also move to pre-sales, brand managers, and other careers related to CDW but with partner companies. They encourage sales and technical certifications and outline a path for achieving those certifications. Benefits are good and management genuinely wants Account Managers to be successful, they recognize that we contribute to the growth of the company.

Cons

It can be tough to build a book of business when starting out. There are a ton of vendor trainings which are good in moderation but we seem to get the same ones every few months and some don't necessarily pertain to the segment we're in (SMB, Med/Lar, etc...)

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.
