Pros

Building a network of collegues that will leave CDW and go elsewhere has it's benefits in the long run when you leave (or at let go).

Cons

Poor management, poor compensation, dial for dollars mentality, CDW first, then customer, poor integration of departments, advanced technologies department doesn't fit the CDW model. Management's unwillingness to change the internal processes to compensate for different business models (i.e. Berbee acquisition - services() makes it difficult to provide good customer service.

Pros

Work life flexibility Working remotely

Cons

This company has changed and not for the better. I started working here under Edwardson and was blessed to experience Tom Richards. When the new CEO C.L took over the company started cutting back on perks and implementing layoffs. This last one seemed so cold and tone deaf. It definitely left a bad taste. I'm blessed to still be here but I am actively looking at other opportunities. It is so sad what is becoming of this place
