Pros

People are very nice in other departments

Cons

Late nights until often until 11 or later during budgeting and forecasting season which is basically non stop due to lack of technology. Use excel spreadsheet for analysis that should be done using Oracle, SAP, etc... Lots of labor on auditing numbers manually. Very difficult environment to ask for help or ask questions. Perhaps it is different in other areas but people should seriously consider working in Finance. People are not treated fairly, once they make a judgement forget about changing it.

Pros

We all help each other to win unlike any other organization I've worked for. I've never seen an organization support their "coworkers" like CDW has. Management is excellent, supportive and not breathing down our neck but of course have expectations. Leadership is visible. The other day I got off the elevator and the CEO, Chris Leahy, was there which startled me to the point I didn't have words for her. Just be prepared to engage with variety of people often and you'll be successful here.

Cons

None at the moment. I could always get more pay but not real cons. If I owned a business, I'd model it after CDW in part.

Pros

Some good people still left there, but dwindling quickly. That's really it...the few decent coworkers left.

Cons

The great culture of the past is gone. Shareholder value is the only important metric now, and tenure/performance don't hold any value anymore to the EC. CDW is a shell of what it used to be for employee satisfaction across the board.
