Pros

CDW is a stable, growing company.

Cons

I received a promotion resulting in a change from an hourly to a salaried position. Assuming I continue to work an average work week of 45 hours, my compensation is now 5% less. Additionally, due to the timing of the promotion, I was also deemed ineligible for this year's merit increase.

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.
