Pros

Strong technical team, great camaraderie between employees

Cons

Horrible management, lot of politics, noticed lot of deserving candidates not getting promotions, Raises were not even up to par with inflation, too much work with paltry raise or extra bonus. Managers did not care about work-life balance. Acted like they cared but did not. Benefits suck. 401k pretty bad. The best will be 3% match and the worst can be 0% match, no consistency. Health Plan is one of the most expensive ever with very high deductibles.

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.
