CDW – Why Work For Us?
We are the People Who Get IT
Our fingerprints can be found on technology in workplaces and workspaces of more than 250,000 companies, from fresh-faced startups to international conglomerates. We’ve powered record-breaking data traffic at a Super Bowl stadium and equipped mom-and-pop stores with POS systems for Small Business Saturday. We’ve helped hospitals keep medical records secure from data breaches and we’ve migrated a university business school to the cloud. With the breadth of products and services we offer, combined with the expertise of our specialists, there is no request too big or too small.
From coders to creatives, tech gurus to sales pros, our people are the heart of our business. We call them coworkers - not employees - because we’re all members of the same CDW team. Every single person, regardless of level or location, plays a part in our success. At CDW, you can make a difference.

At CDW, we embrace different and we never stop chasing improvement. We know that tomorrow’s ideas, don’t come from yesterday’s thinking, so we prefer working with people who see the world differently.
We offer forums for our coworkers to celebrate their differences, network with peers and develop career and leadership skills, which we call Business Resource Groups (BRGs). Our BRGs include:
- African Heritage Network
- Alliance for Business Leading Equality (Individuals with Disabilities)
- Business Resource Alliance Valuing Equality (LGBTQ)
- Hispanic Organization for Leadership & Achievement
- Military & Allies Resource Council
- Pan Asian Council
- Women's Opportunity Network
- RISE
The CDW philosophy on diversity extends beyond our coworkers to include the customers we serve, the communities we live in and our valued supplier partnerships.
