Pros

You're basically being paid to further your education and get certifications. The starting pay isn't bad and you can get raises along the way. There's a good culture and I like the management. As you progress through the program, you'll get more and more involved in projects and doing work, but you are, after all, being paid.

Cons

It can be difficult to keep up with the program and get certifications in time, but most people seem fine. Being an IT consultant is a difficult job. After progressing through the associate program, 3% yearly raises don't sound very good. Work life balance is can be a little difficult, but not too bad.

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.
