CDW Reviews

Pros

The culture, benefits and the coworkers are unbelievable! Great company to work for! I have recommended positions to many friends and family.

Cons

There are some cases where leadership is stagnant and it would benefit for them to get a new perspective and bring in fresh perspective.

Pros

CDW is Genuine - CDW may have 10k employees but when you get sincere, thoughtful emails from the CEO Chris Leahy, about solidarity standing against AAPI hate, standing up for LGBT rights, acknowledging coworker hardships and effects of COVID. Whether it's standing up for employee rights, recognizing employee contributions, or providing financial rewards, I see that CDW truly cares. CDW Strives to do and be better - CDW is constantly innovating, acquiring companies to broaden and improve their offerings, being introspective about new capabilities, and encouraging employees to achieve goals that further the company's mission.

Cons

Hard-working culture - Work/life balance can suffer at the expense of serving its customers Territorial sales reps - Some reps want so badly to provide a customer a solution, due dilligence and measured approach sometimes fall by the wayside

Pros

The culture of this company really is amazing. Leaving the military I heard stories of how people missed the comradery they experienced with teams during their career. I am fortunate enough to work with teams that has the same feel of comradery and still solve problems in the Department of Defense environment. Other pros include: - Benefits package from a Fortune 200 company - Promotion for demonstrated performance and potential (I've been in the company less than two years and promoted twice) - Company culture is inclusive and dynamic - My team is not location based (can live anywhere)

Cons

Fortune 200 companies tend to have more governance ... i.e. they move slowly to make decisions so are not as responsive as a small business.

Pros

Coworkers matter and it's proven in myriad ways everyday. Hard work is recognized and rewarded. You are NEVER asked to choose between family or work. We are expected to behave ethically in everything we do, and our leaders do the same. You can always raise your hand for new projects, extra assignments, etc. and are encouraged to learn and take on new roles inside CDW. The mix of longtime and recent CDW Coworkers builds on the power of history, connections and new ideas. When you need help, ask. Someone will answer.

Cons

CDW can be more risk averse than some of our corporate peers and that can be frustrating; however, their decisions are all based on what's best for Customers, Coworkers, and Shareholders. Always.

Pros

Work from home and nothing else

Cons

Management does not support workers in any manner. They lie, contradict each other, show no appreciation, and give really low raises. Very high turnover and there is currently a mass exodus of long term employees who are tired of not getting promoted, not being appreciated and being given unmanageable workloads. Management seems like a bunch of robots, trained to use the same sound bites. They constantly tell us how every situation can be turned into a positive; they promise change but do not deliver. It’s a highly dysfunctional environment. The Sales team is rude, demanding, impatient and treats sales support very poorly. I am pretty sure CDW pays people to write “good” reviews because I don’t know anyone who is happy working there. Cheap company, silos their employees, poor internal communication and management will lie to your face. It’s amazing how much money they must spend in onboarding as most employees leave within several years due to low raises and getting passed up for promotion. Horrible place to work.

Pros

(1) Outstanding Leadership; I can confidently acknowledge that for the first time since my career began, CDW has shown me what true leadership means. Working with the most considerate and best mentor for the first time has made me appreciate my job and company that much more. (2) Many chances offered to learn and growth development- Regular opportunities provided to further learning and gain new knowledge assisting in said growth are provided often. These lessons make you feel more of an asset to the company. (3) Supportive (Coworkers), who feel more like Team Members, are always working together, free to assist in helping resolve issues, and work as a Team should. (4) Excellent training initially and continue to be challenged by being provided new tasks added to our responsibilities. (5) Positive Atmosphere, Coworker Centric Environment and Value recognized often.

Cons

Typical office environment that has nothing to do with our jobs and responsibilities, but people acting unprofessionally from time to time. The type of issue that Management can't do much about and will always be a factor in the workplace environment. *Nothing to deter from the happiness of working for the company.

Pros

Work Life Balance is great, culture is also very good. Some roles come with a lot of perks, too.

Cons

Industry specific politics within the Channel can be a downside

Pros

CDW has a strong brand they work very hard to cultivate. This shows in how they treat employees and customers.

Cons

We are big and behave like a battleship sometimes but this makes us steady and predictable.
