      Pros

      Have met some great people.

      Cons

      The US seem to have a progressive work environment, however the Canadian division is ruled by a tyrannical CFO who is completely out of touch with what a progressive, high tech company looks like. She is a bully who is allowed to treat employees like dirt. As long as she has all the influence, CDW Canada will never progress. It's hard to comprehend why this bully gets away with what she does. The Canadian compensation packages are reminiscent of what you would see in the 1980's. Most likely a result of the influence of the CFO who is clearly not a proponent of employee satisfaction or job happiness. This completely archaic style of management has set the tone for the Canadian division. I have never seen so many people completely defeated, deflated and terrified!! To rule by fear is the most cowardice act.

      Pros

      The people who work there are all great. Work/Life balance is usually very good. Health/Vision/Dental insurance are all very good. WFH flexibility although that may be dependent on your department.

      Cons

      Unless you're in sales, expect to earn less here than you could at another company. The low compensation levels used to be tolerable because there was opportunity for career advancement within the company but that's no longer the case as more and more senior management positions are filled with outside hires.
