Mission: At CDW, everything we do revolves around meeting the needs of our customers. We help our customers achieve their goals by delivering integrated solutions and services that maximize their technology investment.
Throughout the month of May, members of our Military Allies Resource Council BRG have been celebrating Military Appreciation Month with R.E.D. Fridays to remember our active duty service members and recognize our veteran coworkers!

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:
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.

We are proud to hire and develop service members. We understand that veterans bring unique technical, leadership and problem-solving skills to the table every day. Our community of CDW veterans have turned their military skills into civilian careers across the organization.
Our Military & Allies Resource Council (MARC) works to develop and support the 275+ current and former members of the U.S. military who have chosen to continue to build their careers at CDW. MARC members also strengthen connections between CDW and the military community through community service and volunteer opportunities.

I worked at CDW full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Like minded individuals working towards common goals. Excellent compensation. Success breeds success. Low Stress. Great work life balance.
Cons
Like most organizations, change is constant. Embrace it or you'll find yourself in a negative mental space. Seems to be a disconnect between upper mgmt and front line sales people. Feedback is often heard but rarely acted upon which can be frustrating. But at the end of the day, everyone seems to find success...so maybe they know what they're doing?
Advice to Management
Incorporate feedback into change mgmt and messaging so coworkers feel heard and validated. Actually incorporate their feedback into decisions or try pilot programs more frequently.
