Pros

Relaxed Atmosphere, most employees are friendly enough. You can make small talk and chat or just do your work and be left alone. Overtime is possible randomly throughout the year. Can learn some intermediate Windows and iOS functionality.

Cons

Pay is absurdly low, $17/hr. to start as of 10/1/23. Most employees that have been in the configurations department for 2-3 years are only making $20-$21/hour. No communication, very little organization, extremely difficult to move up within the company. If the pay was reasonable it would be an ok place to work but as it stands, don't waste your time. IMO this is just a place to work if you are desperate, I wouldn't recommend going for a career here. The high paying positions within CDW pay on average, 12% less than comparable corporations.

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.
