Arrow Electronics reviews

Layoff happened yesterday, people with 20+ years were let go. Apparently it all comes down to who you know whether you are still employed today or not. Morale is extremely low, which is no big surprise.

-Managers are so complacent and their lack of work ethic causes workload to be pushed to the staff -When close comes around you will not see managers lending a hand but rather gossiping in one of their cubes -No training, and its your fault you didn't ask for it -Managers gossip about employees and are not shy about doing so, they'll also talk about employees to their "favorites" -Managers seem to have unlimited vacation, even during close. Oddly enough its the end of the world and their job when a staff misses a close day (1 week every month) -Rule out vacations for 1 week every month and 2 weeks every quarter end! Thats 16 weeks a year you do not DARE miss a day or you better believe you're going to have problems -You will work late nights closes are generally 10PM and beyond, 1 AM + nights are certainly not unheard of and you must be there before 8AM the next day -Job was similar to public accounting hours without the perks or career advancement -Benefits are worthless... Count out retirement because there is a 5 year vesting period and you will not last that long the longest I saw was 3 years (trust me I know how much liability was released every year) -Do not expect lunches, dinners, or anything extra to be provided by the company. Let me be clear there are no cool perks about working here -No bonus -No tuition reimbursement -No stock options or purchase discount -No free or discounted goods/services Look at the number of job postings for Arrow accounting and finance jobs at any given time and that should tell you how much of a revolving door these departments are
