Pros

The environment is very solid overall, however the amount of employees directly out of college makes for a juvenille and unprofessional atomsphere is some cases.

Cons

It's very difficult to make much a decent living here. A couple of reasons: 1. It's a inside sales job that entails some accounts being given to you when some leaves, out of district, etc., what I've slowly foundt out is that unless you're part of the club, you won't be getting any. 2. You compete with each other moreso than you do the competition. There's more sales people than anything else in the company(which would be fine, if there was enough territory to accommodate the growth).

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.
