Pros

You have some control on your day. Lunches are supplied by partners.

Cons

CDW is a huge corporation that uses new hires and ARs as Bottom-feeders to support the rest of the company. You make a below livable Salary and are given a starter book that consists of angry customers that don't spend with CDW anymore for numerous reasons. Commission scale is set up to have you pay back your first year's salary to CDW in the first 6 months based on the 3% of the profit you will be earning. Profit is also very hard to attain since Amazon and other big players offer the same stuff for A LOT cheaper. This company is the definition of churn and burn when it comes to new hires. If you like feeding a huge corporate whale and watching CDW take all of your profits and hard earned commissions your first 3 years then this job is for you!

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.
