Pros

So far it has been a great place to start a career. However, many of the reasons that made this a great place to work no longer exist.

Cons

We seem to be taking steps backwards with regards to recruiting and retaining talented individuals.

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.
