Pros

Relaxed Atmosphere, most employees are friendly enough. You can make small talk and chat or just do your work and be left alone. Overtime is possible randomly throughout the year. Can learn some intermediate Windows and iOS functionality.

Cons

Pay is absurdly low, $17/hr. to start as of 10/1/23. Most employees that have been in the configurations department for 2-3 years are only making $20-$21/hour. No communication, very little organization, extremely difficult to move up within the company. If the pay was reasonable it would be an ok place to work but as it stands, don't waste your time. IMO this is just a place to work if you are desperate, I wouldn't recommend going for a career here. The high paying positions within CDW pay on average, 12% less than comparable corporations.

Pros

The people who work there are all great. Work/Life balance is usually very good. Health/Vision/Dental insurance are all very good. WFH flexibility although that may be dependent on your department.

Cons

Unless you're in sales, expect to earn less here than you could at another company. The low compensation levels used to be tolerable because there was opportunity for career advancement within the company but that's no longer the case as more and more senior management positions are filled with outside hires.
