"I have worked for CDW for over a year. It is a great place to work, wonderful people, great work environment. You do have to work hard but if you put your heart into your job you will be rewarded. Like many things in life you get out what you put in. The pay scale could be better, however with the right client base you will do just fine. It can be rough in the beginning but if you stick with it you will start to see the money coming in."

Working at CDW Corp. in Vernon Hills, IL: 11 Employee Reviews

CDW Corp. Employee

"Great company that really cares about its temporary workforce as well as its permanent workforce. People who work there are intelligent and helpful. No office politics that I could see. It takes a while to get up-to-speed and feel productive. Not many opportunities for becoming a permanent employee unless you wish to go into management."

CDW Corp. Employee

"I was an application development intern at CDW over the summer. Everybody I dealt with at the company was very nice, however, the intern program was not very organized. There were many days where I had little to no work to do. Additionally, the work that I did receive was often not as meaningful as I had hoped. Overall, the people are nice, but the intern program was not organized correctly."

Global Product Manager

"I got to work with great technical team with mediocre management that are over enthusiastic but all too often an obstacle to getting things done and constant source of useless meetings that slowed down production. Overall the company is a good place to work although they have not adopted lean principles and tend to build products in a vacuum that are one offs that are never sold again."
