Pros

Great benefits, at least until the CDW merger. The opportunity to work with the brightest and most talented Cisco/Microsoft engineers in the industry. The Engineers do a great deal of knowledge sharing and taking care of each other.

Cons

Horrible communication. No clear method of promotions. The professional services (Berbee) area of CDW was run like a sales warehouse and not like a professional services organization.

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.
