Pros

Good training program that is paid Great networking opportunities within the IT world Culture is the best part of the company, the coworkers you meet and work with

Cons

Can feel like months go by without making any progress. Backbone departments (bid desk, configuration center, ect.) completely disorganized and undervalued, they literally do not read your requests at all and requires a back and forth dialogue that is a complete waste of time and energy. Management can take your 'small business' accounts and reassign them to 'corporate' with or without explanation while never replacing the account that you worked very hard to build from nothing. Leadership either total micro management or completely hands off even when you require help closing a deal.

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.
