Pros

Some flexibility concerning work from home. Decent benefits. Direct supervisors very approachable.

Cons

Main leadership is lacking and communicates one stated goal while going another way. Claims toward caring about coworkers are less impressive when they are completely ignored during engagement surveys. Tools are lacking and frustrating to use. Many people are poor at communication skills and lack the basic sense to read an email before responding (internally). Pay structure is poor.

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.
