Pros
There are many reasons why I have been at CDW for the past 17 years. Many of them are reasons that you could find at other place but the one that makes this place different is the PEOPLE. Everyone says it but it's different here. Our team has grown exponentially but our culture continues to be a "big family" focused on solving customer problems. We care for each other in order to ensure we bring our best selves to work for our customers. We literally are the living example of Ubuntu - I am because we are!
Cons
Compensation has room for improvement

Pros
Work life balance, looks out for coworkers
Cons
Sometimes changes are made without consideration, but when they do make them they don't blind side you and never do anything to harm your career. My direct managers have changed a lot.
- Current Employee, more than 8 years★★★★★
Pros
Management will not micromanage you. Your success hinges on your determination. You take the reins, and as long as you are successful and contributing, they won't say "no". You feel empowered, and you can chart your own ship. CDW rewards those that take that stance.
Cons
Management will not micromanage you. Your success hinges on your determination. If you are waiting for clear guidance and waiting for someone to tell you how to be successful, you will sink. You will be frustrated. You will feel like management is failing you. The whole thing will feel like a mess and unstructured.
