      Disapproves of CEO

      I worked at CDW full-time for more than a year

      Pros

      people are friendly, desk space is neat, but hours are awful, no work from home for new people

      Cons

      way over worked, no work from home for new people, hours are terrible

      Advice to Management

      ease up on all the extra month end processes, they're stressful, also the hours are HORRIBLE, please stop this 9 to 6, 10 to 7 shift and working after 7pm on month ends, this is the worst experience. It's too difficult to work that late and if agents don't volunteer to work late, they look bad.
