Pros

Awesome side perks - Hawks,Cubs, Bears, boat party's, food- thanks to the Partners. The Chicago office has a very casual environment, most people wear jeans & Partner shirts. There's always someone willing to teach, help or be a mentor. Now that CDW is public - the sales part of the company is under far more pressure - but the payoff in Sales can be huge.

Cons

Becoming Public has changed the culture for the operations/backbone teams. If you're not in sales or don't want to do sales, higher ups don't seem to know what to do with your career advancement. Underpaid compared to competitors. CDW does great at promoting your "total benefits" in effort to make it sound like they are giving you so much more.

Pros

The people who work there are all great. Work/Life balance is usually very good. Health/Vision/Dental insurance are all very good. WFH flexibility although that may be dependent on your department.

Cons

Unless you're in sales, expect to earn less here than you could at another company. The low compensation levels used to be tolerable because there was opportunity for career advancement within the company but that's no longer the case as more and more senior management positions are filled with outside hires.
