Okay place to work; don't expect to learn much on the technical IT side

Configuration technician

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Co-workers and team leaders are generally nice. You get treated fairly. Steady work, often overtime available if you want. Work life balance is fair, once you clock out you're done.

Cons

Limited in what you'll gain exposure to. Just the nature of the job, it's mostly simple hardware installs and imaging. The security is tight and it feels like the 1 break you get isn't long enough. So-so money.

Great Environment - Very Low Pay

Configuration specialist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Relaxed Atmosphere, most employees are friendly enough. You can make small talk and chat or just do your work and be left alone. Overtime is possible randomly throughout the year. Can learn some intermediate Windows and iOS functionality.

Cons

Pay is absurdly low, $17/hr. to start as of 10/1/23. Most employees that have been in the configurations department for 2-3 years are only making $20-$21/hour. No communication, very little organization, extremely difficult to move up within the company. If the pay was reasonable it would be an ok place to work but as it stands, don't waste your time. IMO this is just a place to work if you are desperate, I wouldn't recommend going for a career here. The high paying positions within CDW pay on average, 12% less than comparable corporations.
