Pros

The 1.5 Years with CDW have been the best working experience of my life. The culture here breeds success. From the day I was hired, everyone here has been invested in my success. It started with Onboarding(Orientation) where CEO Tom Richards took time from his day to speak to the group of new recruits I was hired in with and continues to this day with the Managers and Engineers I work with on a daily basis. Being in the Associate Consulting Engineer program has been an amazing experience. They take people like myself with limited experience in the IT field and train you to be a successful consulting engineer. If you are looking to get paid to learn to do a job you will love, this "job" is for you. I could write another 5 paragraphs easy and not scratch the surface of how great this job is but I want to get back to enjoying it myself.

Cons

Schedule can be erratic at times. 50 hours one week 35 the next.

Pros

We all help each other to win unlike any other organization I've worked for. I've never seen an organization support their "coworkers" like CDW has. Management is excellent, supportive and not breathing down our neck but of course have expectations. Leadership is visible. The other day I got off the elevator and the CEO, Chris Leahy, was there which startled me to the point I didn't have words for her. Just be prepared to engage with variety of people often and you'll be successful here.

Cons

None at the moment. I could always get more pay but not real cons. If I owned a business, I'd model it after CDW in part.

Pros

Some good people still left there, but dwindling quickly. That's really it...the few decent coworkers left.

Cons

The great culture of the past is gone. Shareholder value is the only important metric now, and tenure/performance don't hold any value anymore to the EC. CDW is a shell of what it used to be for employee satisfaction across the board.
