Pros

Large scale. Established Brand. Above average compensation. Easy to stand out — 90% of employees do nothing.

Cons

This company is rampant with 20+ year veteran employees who are paid very well but contribute absolutely nothing and are stuck in their old ways. Technology stack is an absolute joke. Every piece of technology you touch is like a time capsule to 20 years ago. The sales led culture is very toxic.

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.
