Pros

CDW is a well known company throughout the US and has great opportunities for entry level sales people that are motivated to work hard.

Cons

CDW is management heavy. They reward management for their employees good work. Managers get bonus when the employees lost 401K, no reviews. CDW had a layoff in 2008 and as CDW continue to grow they did not rehire the people they lost, they required all their people to work more with less. They announced the 2010 greatest year in CDW history with decreased benefits for their employees and no work life balance.

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.
