CDW is a place where if you work hard you will be rewarded with the satisfaction of personal growth. Great people, friendly and comfortable work environment

Cons

If you're looking to work your way up or use a spot in CDW as a stepping stone to somewhere else don't even bother. you will end up somewhat frustrated with the politics and empty promises

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.
