Very happy to be working in an industry that is growing and company focused on customers and employee growth.

Pros
CDW provides great career opportunities. CDW is a place that encourages creativity, initiative and new ideas. We are a lean organization. You will have great opportunities to work on projects and learn from the experiences you are provided. I started as entry level hourly coworker and worked my way to Director.
Our culture is second to none. It is a special place and the people you work with are outstanding. I would describe the culture as team oriented and energetic. It is a culture where everyone rolls up their sleeves.Cons
Compensation is not industry leading but it is a great culture and with exciting work.

Pros
Great company that cares about it's employees.
Cons
No micro management however if you're a remote employee, it can get a little lonely due to lack of involvement with the bigger vision of the company.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at CDW full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Positive work environment
Good work culture
Free lunches/perks from vendors
Rising Fortune 500 company (resume builder)
Encourages time for projects outside of day to day dutiesCons
Benefits are pretty minimum. Standard 2 weeks off per year and expensive health insurance.
"Tech" company that is very old school and rigid in its ways.
Inflexible hours with mandatory hour for lunch.
Not much room to advance - company highly encourages lateral moves but if that means minimal pay raises then that's a no for me.
Inflexible in where you work from. I live in Chicago where we have an office and hardly need to collaborate with me team in Lincolnshire but still need to drive there every day (could be an individual manager thing and I knew that when I took the job so can't complain too much)Advice to Management
I recently had a manager ask me what young workers are looking for and i really feel that cdw misses the mark on a lot of these. In my opinion younger workers are looking for flexibility, good work to life ratio, good experienced coworkers to learn from, and opportunities to move up within the organization. Cdw does a lot of things well but because it's rather inflexible, pay is low relative to industry standards, and promotion opportunities aren't really there I don't see myself staying here long term

Pros
I have had two surgeries in less that two months and my managers and have been supportive through the entire process.
Great training program. Candidates with no sales or technology background, but have a willingness to explore new opportunities can be very successful at CDW.Cons
Processes can always be improved. Sometimes it's a challenge to find answers. A mentor program for new employees should be considered. It can be intimidating asking questions when it interrupts coworkers. This should be included after on boarding.

Pros
They toss you a bone (donuts or ice cream) every so often to raise your sugar levels to meet the quota - they call it daily productivity. That's all the employees (coworkers) worry about here. Everyone's so paranoid about their productivity. More work and very, very, very low salary.
Cons
No compassion nor sympathy... A coworker took a few days off for the loss of his father. He came back and got no sympathy card from us or wish of condolences from any coworker because the manager didn't bother to spread the word (did not care) - it was a need to know basis I guess... I felt bad for the dude who decided to come back to work after a couple of days - the dude was still in mourning... Wow!
Another instance, another coworker fell ill in the warehouse and had to be rushed to the E.R. He told me that he called his manager a few hours from the hospital to let him know that they were gonna keep him for a few days. And I was not surprise when he told me these exact words from a Manager -
"Who's this?.. oh Ok I know who you are, so what?... You know what, don't call me again!.. If you need to speak to someone here, call H.R. click" That's CDW Management in a nut shell. So sad that I've already got interviews from other companies. I can't wait to get out of here.Advice to Management
I wouldn't be surprised if the Department of Labor would be do a surprise visit and find out what you guys are running here - slave sweatshop (warehouse). Pls let it be tomorrow if not soon.

Thanks for your review. Actually got me a little teary eyed. We are proud of our organization that "feels like home" and we're glad you're part of the family!
