Pros

Arrow is an awesome place to make connections, cut your teeth on the electronics industry in general, and get a very broad base of experience as the company does practically everything under the sun.

Cons

Arrow is not a very rewarding company to work for. Specifically they have this corporate culture that doing your job, and doing it well, is not to be rewarded. If you do 100% of your job, that is considered average, and only people that are doing 150-200% are considered to be above average employees. They have no interest in taking an active role in perpetuating your career and expect the employee to be wholly responsible for pushing themselves forward. This seems like a minor complaint, but without guidance, mentorship, or any kind of positive reinforcement, this company really makes you feel like there is no way to move forward. Additionally; not giving employees a clear path to advance not only discourages them from working hard, but makes it nearly impossible to know or find out how to move forward.

Pros

The company provides a gym, with daily yoga and workout classes that are free. The company allows flexible hours during the summer.

Cons

There is no opportunity for collaboration, innovation, or even suggestions from employees. They are simply expected to do what they are told. This was not a good fit for me, because I wanted to help them improve their processes (specifically, improve my own efficiency) but was faced with violent and aggressive disapproval for any changes I wanted to make in my own daily process.

Pros

Fitness Center/classes, flexible hours, and decent vacation time. Early release for holidays if your manager doesn't withhold their upper management communication saying to spread the word. Good people trying to make it work under terrible leadership.

Cons

Expensive healthcare and no company contribution to dental and minimal 401k match. No work from home options in supplier accounting nor any bonuses. Learn the business and move on...
