Pros

None that I can think of

Cons

I worked here two years and I can say this is a terrible place to work. Constant layoffs, margins are already low and dropping off a cliff, unhappy employees, out of touch leadership, short staffed, favoritism runs rampant, boys club at the top, impossible systems to gather meaningful data from, nobody could tell you what the company actually does or how they make money. Arrow needs a complete refresh of the finance department. I would never recommend this company to anyone. If you are reading this considering a job at Arrow just know it would take less than a month to regret your decision. Most people know it was a mistake after the first week.

Pros

Very few. There are many good people to work with, and compensation was above average.

Cons

People are treated as a number (headcount or $, you pick). Core values implemented years ago are not being followed by upper management. There is a severe lack of integrity. The Employee Performance Review is a joke. Your immediate manager rates you, but then the ratings are changed by others who have had no interaction with you throughout the year, just to keep within the acceptable range that was handed down from upper management. All perks that showed appreciation for the employees were stopped (Family BBQ, Holiday Party, Sabbatical, Tuition Reimbursement etc.). Wok/Life balance only exists for some, Others have lost many weeks of vacation due to the projects they were on and were unable to take time off.

Thank you so much for your feedback; we're focused everyday on building a truly innovative and engaging culture, where managers and employees build relationships where feedback is routine. We have a zero tolerance policy as it relates to bullying in the workplace and take those situations seriously, and we agree that our employees are our most significant asset in the organization and will take this opportunity to continue to advance that agenda.

Pros

Big, well known company within Colorado and across the globe. Work life balance was great and made working there much easier - depending upon the group you work with and who your manager is. Good colleagues and was able to travel in specific role. Looks good on a resume.

Cons

Big company... your job is expendable and can be at the mercy of others mistakes. Those "others' being people you won't work with and can make HUGE mistakes that lead to layoffs, management change, organization change, and cost cutting.
