Business outlook
Pros
Awesome side perks - Hawks,Cubs, Bears, boat party's, food- thanks to the Partners. The Chicago office has a very casual environment, most people wear jeans & Partner shirts. There's always someone willing to teach, help or be a mentor. Now that CDW is public - the sales part of the company is under far more pressure - but the payoff in Sales can be huge.
Cons
Becoming Public has changed the culture for the operations/backbone teams. If you're not in sales or don't want to do sales, higher ups don't seem to know what to do with your career advancement. Underpaid compared to competitors. CDW does great at promoting your "total benefits" in effort to make it sound like they are giving you so much more.
