Pros
Work life balance, CDW investing in employee development, and team culture! After working in various industries and companies, CDW feels like "home" and always provides new projects to keep me challenged and growing professionally by incorporating the newest trends and technology for improvement.

Very happy to be working in an industry that is growing and company focused on customers and employee growth.
Advice to Management
Continue investing in resources for employees. Work on integrating coworkers across different teams or divisions to support career growth and collaboration.

Pros
There are many great reasons to be a part of the CDW family but there are a few that truly stand out. CDW is branded well. In the world of IT, this company needs little to no explanation. CDW is a large operation with many avenues for success and the potential for growth within this organization is limitless.
Cons
CDW moves at a quick pace, being a new employee means ramping up with few resources for process-driven training. Luckily, I have a great team to support me in my local office as my new-hire training is almost two months after my start date. No true cons here for on-boarding.

Pros
From what I see, decent benefits, 7 paid holidays with one floating holiday, Having a routine work week of mon-fri. Coworkers are very friendly and helpful
Cons
Too many people like step on one another to get higher up the ladder. The founder wanted it to feel like a family but over time the values have slipped away. too much expectations, doesn't seem to a whole lot not a whole lot of room for growth. Some members of management like to micromanage. One killer of management is micromanagement. Base pay can be a little better to.
Advice to Management
On the shipping side of things. The productivity system that is in place now. Is flawed!, it seems as tho it's all about numbers!! numbers!! numbers!! if you don't make your numbers your in trouble after awhile. That puts a great deal of stress on coworkers just trying to make their numbers everyday. Coworkers start getting greedy, they go after all the easy work for themselves everyone is running around like chickens with their heads cut off. More likely to mess up. I'm telling you to whoever reads this. It would be far better to have a error system in place instead. You get so many errors a year an if you make to many you get suspended or what have you. That way you would be able to retain workers for longer just go until your done, less stressed. Just like part of the moto says " we listen" so listen.

Pros
Great values on the operations side. Cut throat on the sales side. The backbone is the bread n butter of the company. They make it happen.
Cons
Too many people step on others to get higher in the food chain. Sales side is not as family oriented as the operations side. The founder wanted it to feel like a family but over time the values have slipped away.
Advice to Management
Don’t treat employees like they are expendable.
