Pros

good leadership. they are the leader in the industry and know it, so don't pay as much as what you would make elsewhere for non-sales positions. it's a great place to get started and to learn from some smart people.

Cons

if you start in sales, it's always rough. but it's worth it. a great place to learn, and get skills to go elsewhere. if you start in a different department, there are good people to learn from. however, things are a bit beaurocratic, and the old-school management still rules the roost, with the exception of a people brought in externally who don't really get the culture

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.
