Pros

Decent work environment. Plenty of projects to sink one's teeth into. Some very accomplished coworkers.

Cons

Inexperienced management & tight constraints on costs. Often inexperienced people are slotted to do work way over their heads. While I believe in stretch opportunities, this has made for some embarassing moments when a customer has looked at one of my inexperienced coworkers sideways.

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.
