      Pros

      If you are fresh out of college, it's a good place to start. Allow self 12 months with goal to move on and specialize.

      Cons

      CDW is a revenue generating machine. Period. Most new hires figure out compensation is substandard and long term benefits and lack of pension and lack of stock awards don't exist. Executive management has no issue dipping their toe into the Sales pool and taking money from Account Managers. SPIF's which were big part of an Account Managers compensation have been eliminated. Account Managers generally last 16-20 months and realize the futility of a long term sales career before leaving. Team Sales Managers also have a high burn out rate and realize there isn't a work life balance.

      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.
