CDW Reviews

Pros

CDW Does a good job of hiring & training sales professionals who often have little to no business acumen. if you're coming out of school & are looking for a job where you will learn a ton & build a book of contacts to sell IT to; CDW is a great option. Great training, great compensation, vendor relationships are second to none

Cons

Field Account Executives provide no value, Sales Managers love to micromanage to prove themselves essential.

Pros

Great people is the key to a great workplace. CDW (Scalar when I worked there) had great people. You were allowed to do your job as you saw fit, because you were hired for that specific role and they expected and trusted that you knew how to do your job and treat it like you were building something for yourself.

Cons

If you weren't of an entrepreneurial mind set you would find it a hard place to work. Towards the end of my tenure there (in hindsight they were preparing to sell) they changed comp plans negatively which pushed people out the door.

Pros

Office space, co - workers, perks, ergonomic desk.

Cons

Long hours, Fraudulent Management is promoted by knowing someone, Politics, Favourtisim, Lack of Recongnition, Bullying, instilling fear, No room for growth, redundancy, archaic system.

Pros

Length of Service Rewards and Comp

Cons

Inflexible, stuck in their processes and unwilling to review to see if it could be better
