      Pros

      Have met some great people.

      Cons

      The US seem to have a progressive work environment, however the Canadian division is ruled by a tyrannical CFO who is completely out of touch with what a progressive, high tech company looks like. She is a bully who is allowed to treat employees like dirt. As long as she has all the influence, CDW Canada will never progress. It's hard to comprehend why this bully gets away with what she does. The Canadian compensation packages are reminiscent of what you would see in the 1980's. Most likely a result of the influence of the CFO who is clearly not a proponent of employee satisfaction or job happiness. This completely archaic style of management has set the tone for the Canadian division. I have never seen so many people completely defeated, deflated and terrified!! To rule by fear is the most cowardice act.

      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.
