Doesn't RecommendPositive OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at CDW full-time (More than 10 years)
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.

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at CDW full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Work from Home (depending on dept/team depends if you can and how often)
Cons
Poor Supervisors with no experience and no training. Pay is low and "raises" are less than 3% yet your review will always say how great of a worker you are. Going above and beyond will become the norm or is considered to be a part of your job. Laziness and stupidity are valued and praised yet hard workers are just given more work since they are the only competent people. There needs to be more oversight as to who gets hired and how skilled they are. Last few people hired on my team can't even send a properly worded email and yet the Supervisor loves them and praises them for doing crap work. Favoritism will get you a long way at this company. If you try to transfer out of your team/dept, HR will give some bs about how you cannot get more than a 10% raise, yet they offer outsiders double/triple the amount for the same role. So there is no incentive to want to transfer.
Advice to Management
Train new supervisors better and stop giving crap raises as it contradicts what is said in the yearly review.
