Pros

The people who work there are all great. Work/Life balance is usually very good. Health/Vision/Dental insurance are all very good. WFH flexibility although that may be dependent on your department.

Cons

Unless you're in sales, expect to earn less here than you could at another company. The low compensation levels used to be tolerable because there was opportunity for career advancement within the company but that's no longer the case as more and more senior management positions are filled with outside hires.

Pros

You have the ability to sell full stack solutions, services and software.

Cons

I have worked at CDW for 10yrs and every single year they have changed the comp plan in a way that makes it harder for sellers to make money (constantly moving the goal post). Prior to 2020 CDW had little to no lay offs now it is happening every six months. They say the reasons is to reduce cost and improve efficiencies BUT as a company our sales continue to grow along with the C-levels pockets.
