Pros

You get to work on multi-million dollar, complex government bids that add tons of experience to your resume. Relatively ok work-life balance, work from home days, etc.

Cons

Can be stressful at times, high team turnover, and base salary needs to be increased to be more reflective of actual job responsibilities.

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.
