Pros

Arrow has a few decent health care options. Good Coworkers

Cons

HR seems to discourage career growth, and actively throttles team expansion and promotions, even if funds are there. Looking past the positive career branding there is little to no incentive for personal growth. This is seen with little to no coaching interest at the director/manager level, and if employees ask about growing their careers they are directed to HR slides. Immense interest in employees staying in the same role for 10+ years. Salaries are strongly governed on the curve to restrict pay increases so you will always be tied to your "day one of hire" wage, even if you do extremely well in your role or your manager moves you to a role with more responsibilities years later. Executives and HR prefer to hire outside of the existing business to fill open roles, even if internal talent in available, and ignore the low success rate of this approach. They rely heavily on the passionate employees to solve the daily issues with no recognition or compensation for efforts time after time.

Pros

Plenty of others to share in your misery

Cons

Way too many to count! Management will squeeze every last ounce of your soul to ensure they will keep their jobs and will be the first to throw you under the bus when they make a mistake. If you want someone else to take credit for your hard work then this is the place for you!!

Pros

The benefits are good (unlimited PTO and sick days), the work can be fully remote, and the pay is good for the current market.

Cons

The workplace is extremely toxic. You'll be hired for one job but likely be given responsibilities and work that are for a completely different job. When you cannot accomplish your work because you're trying to do something you haven't been trained for and weren't really hired for, you'll get frequent talks with management about your lack of leadership and lack of work. I have never felt more depressed and anxious than during my short time at Arrow, and I caution anyone considering a job there to really think about their pros against all the possible cons.
