Pros

Alot of incentives such as trips and vendors give alot of prizes for your hard work. The manager and supervisors can be very understanding and down to earth. But, they can also turn on you. Your only as good as your last good day. If you fall behind even ONE day they will say something. Be ready to make ALOT of calls. Yu will feel like a glorified telemarketer...ALOT. Many opportuities to make money...from the company AND the vendors.

Cons

Management doesn't know their elbow from their hindquarters alot of the time. Micromanagement is the name of the game here. The commission structure is completley off key. Judge you on how many calls you make or rather customer touches in ordeer to gauge your performance, no matter how much money you closed that day. Give reassigns to those who make the most calls, not who is deemed more value by sales skill.

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.
