Join us and you will start out as a Sales Account Representative with a dedicated career progression path towards Account Manager, Senior Account Manager and Executive Account Manager.

You'll quickly learn that all sales opportunities here are a chance to forge a relationship, rather than complete a transaction.

  • Collaborate with peers and industry partners to bring the best technology solutions to your customers

In-depth Training & Development:

  • You'll become proficient with CDW's extensive portfolio of products, services and solutions through six weeks of instructor-led, interactive learning in the classroom, making the transition from campus to career much easier.

  • Sales Academy: Four months of hands-on selling and training with one-on-one coaching while you begin to build your book of business. You will work directly with a dedicated manager to strategically craft and build consultative relationships with customers and offer customized, creative solutions to their business needs.

  • Sales Residency: Ongoing training, development and mentorship to ensure that you are up to date on the ever-changing technology trends while you continue to expand your book of business and develop relationships with your customers.

What you need to succeed:
Must-have:

  • Self-motivated, ambitious and interest in directly impacting the business landscape through technology solutions

  • Passion for relationship building, creative problem-solving and strong verbal and written communication skills

  • Ability to demonstrate resiliency in adverse situations

  • Natural curiosity and a desire to learn, grow and develop your skillset

  • Ability to verbally communicate and develop and nurture lasting customer relationship

Nice-to-have:

  • Leadership experience on campus through community involvement, student organizations, internships and/or work

  • Fluency written and verbal communications in both English and French

Why CDW?:

  • Paid training program

  • Unlimited earning potential: base salary plus uncapped commission upon completion of classroom training

  • Incredible potential for advancement for motivated performers - a majority of our sales leaders at CDW started in this role

  • Ongoing community involvement opportunities and our charitable match program

  • The opportunity to work in a highly supportive and entrepreneurial environment - we reward innovative thinkers and strong performers

CDW Compensation & Benefits Highlights

How does CDW ensure its pay and bonus plans are competitive?

CDW supports competitive pay and bonus plans through a broad total rewards approach that combines performance-focused compensation, strong benefits, long-term financial support, and the stability of a large established company.

  • Total rewards philosophy: CDW’s compensation approach is built around more than base salary alone. Its ESG report says the company uses competitive compensation and performance-focused pay practices designed to reward excellence and support coworkers’ professional and financial growth. That philosophy is reinforced by a broader total rewards package that supports physical, emotional, financial, and social wellbeing.
  • Performance-based pay and incentives: CDW explicitly describes its pay practices as performance-focused, indicating that compensation is designed to recognize strong individual contribution and results. Employee feedback also points to meaningful earning potential in some roles, along with merit increases and incentive opportunities, especially in performance-driven functions.
  • Structured compensation components and financial support: CDW strengthens compensation competitiveness through multiple financial programs beyond salary. These include a 401(k), employee stock purchase plan, life insurance, disability coverage, accident-related insurance, and charitable gift matching. Together, these programs help support both short-term financial needs and longer-term financial security. CDW also connects compensation to career growth through its Global Career Framework, which helps employees see how advancement and future opportunities fit into the broader organization.
  • Benefits as part of total compensation: Benefits are a major part of CDW’s competitive rewards story. The company offers healthcare, parental leave, adoption support, wellbeing resources, commuter benefits, legal assistance, and tuition reimbursement, among other offerings. Its ESG report also notes that in 2023 CDW made additional investments by reducing the benefits waiting period for new hires and increasing paid leave for primary parental caregivers and bereavement. Employees frequently mention benefits, PTO, flexibility, and job stability as strengths of the company’s overall package.
  • Scale and stability: CDW’s size and market position also reinforce its ability to offer competitive rewards. As a Fortune 500 and S&P 500 company with about $21 billion in annual net sales and ~15,100 coworkers, CDW has the scale to provide broad benefits, structured pay programs, and long-term stability.
  • External signals: Employee feedback points to several strengths in CDW’s rewards package, including mentions of generous compensation, strong benefits, stock options, merit increases, and financial stability. While compensation experiences can vary by role, reviews consistently suggest that benefits and overall package strength are important parts of CDW’s employer value proposition.

Bottom line: CDW supports competitive pay through a well-rounded total rewards model that combines performance-focused compensation, strong benefits, financial protection, and long-term career stability. It is especially well positioned for employees who value comprehensive benefits, growth opportunities, and the backing of a large, established technology company.
