Pros

lots of free stuff, lots of training

Cons

The management & leadership in Small Business leaves a lot to be desired. I've had many managers over my short tenure here & they all love to play favorites. Doesn't matter how good your performance is, any opportunities to go in market or get reassigned accounts soley rest on if you're one of the "chosen few" who get preferential treatment. Also, they love to tout their "promote from within" strategy but the internal interview/job application process is absolutely grueling. You can spend months & months preparing for a role to move into but they move a friend of a friend into in instead.

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.
