Pros

Fully remote, with great developers and consultants. Some teams are amazing.

Cons

Corporate culture is aspirational, not actualized. Some project leads and managers will not communicate directly, so listen closely and trust your gut. Find the team you fit in with and stick with them. The culture of "early confrontation" leads to bullying by toxic high performers who cover their mistakes by blaming junior employees. When the company was Aptris, the office was filled with religious propaganda. Not for everyone.

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

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.
