Pros

The opportunity to work with some of the most talented technical Cisco and Microsoft engineers in the country. It is a tight-knit group committed to sharing knowledge and experience with their peer group. We have very well developed repeatable processes which are critical for ensuring consistency across the different regions that have CDW Berbee professional services offices. The strategy is to move to a national model for professional services, which opens up other opportunities for relocation and working in larger cities, if that is what you prefer. I have also had the opportunity to work with Microsoft to help shape new products before they are rolled out to the larger market.

Cons

hard to maintain work-life balance - there is always something happening and its hard not to get pulled in.

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

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.
