CDW Corp. Employee Reviews for Anonymous Employee

"CDW was a great company to work for, they invested so much into me and my success. I learned a whole lot from some of the greatest people I’ve ever worked with. I would definitely say this was of the best jobs I’ve had."

"I worked for CDW for long time and it was a great ride, but looking for a new challenge where I can build the same kind of business in a new high growth startup and/or industry."

"Every position at CDW is a sales position. If you do not want to be a seller, do not look at CDW. They are excellent at delivering product. They are working hard to become a services business too. Unfortunately, they do not focus on customer service over customer sales. Engineers are financially motivated to be fast ."

"Great Place to work! CDW Corporation, headquartered in Lincolnshire, Illinois, is a provider of technology products and services for business, government and education"

"I worked for 6 months with this company as a contractor. Although I was let go due to the pandemic, I greatly enjoyed my time with the company. As a whole, the culture was inclusive and very concerned with the well-being of the employees."

"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."

"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."

"I entered CDW as a brand manager. My wife and brother-in-law started in the sales academy. CDW is a great early career job. If you do not have experience in marketing, sales, or technology there is ample opportunity to grow and learn. They are flexible when it comes to your personal life (i.e. taking kids to the doctor) which makes up for some other challenges. Overall the employees and work culture are great. The reason I cannot provide a five star recommendation is internal politics and low pay commensurate with the industry. If you are not 'in the club" it is very difficult to advance in your department. You also work with a lot of big tech companies and realize quickly you are making 60% of what they make for the same work. If CDW improves their salaries/benefits they would become a top tier employer in my book."

"I worked for CDW as an automation engineer."

"I've worked for CDW since 2010. They have always been a fair and level-headed company. Their benefits are good, and internal promotion is a regular occurrence. The engineering culture is great, and there are lots of smart, kind, and helpful people to work with. However, since going public, there have been some annoying company decisions in the interest of the stockholders."
