Pros

Great product portfolio and networking opportunities 2 month long training gives you plenty of corporate kool aid

Cons

It truly is glorified telemarketing at times. Industry low base salary. Even after hitting your goal 100%, you might not make a livable salary. The company inflates their goals to force you to grow 500% (for example) to make any money. Your success often depends on whether management likes you or not. Advancement not based on merit. I have witnessed people get harassed at work but nothing was done about it because the "boys club" alpha male culture tells people to allow bullying.

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.
