Pros

They have a policy of hiring anyone who will work for their introductory pay (they've even hired folk for free or apprentice wage). With that in mind you are bound to be hired for 3 months at least. Good stop gap.

Cons

No career progression unless you are living with, married to or related to a current manager -the worse clique I have ever seen. No training provided -you are told you use google to solve complex IT issues. A blame culture where you have people reporting you to save their own skin and keep themselves out of the firing line. Constant staff turnover and low morale. A management team that are clueless and only strategy is to scream at you to work harder...or you will be fired. Unrealistic targets and workload.

Pros

CDW is a solid contracting company. Any time I had an issue or concern they responded quickly and provided clear paths to resolution. Communication was consistent and they handled problems professionally without leaving you to figure things out on your own.

Cons

As with most contract roles, there is limited visibility into long-term opportunities beyond the assigned engagement.
