Pros

Worked for the Arrow Digital/Ecommerce: - cool start-up feel and comes with perks - free snacks and drinks - open warehouse seating - collaboration and teamwork encouraged - good benefits

Cons

Worked for the Arrow Digital/Ecommerce: - poor management - direct manager had too much time to constantly micromanage, make poor managing decisions, provided very poor direction and could not simply answer questions, also believe that manager lacked the knowledge and skills to be in a leadership position so I'm pretty disappointed in Arrow for giving him a manager role - at least provide some training for new managers. - It seemed like the cool start up and relaxed environment was provided to only selective group of people whereas, my group's culture was more of a dictatorship brought on from my direct manager who was highly condescending, disrespectful, on a power trip, and extremely inflexible. all of this goes against their "cool hip" "startup" "laid back" culture. Direct manager used to ask me what type of appointments I had so he could tell me which type of PTO time I could use and I thought that was very invasive and would straight tell me to not even go to my appointments unless they were "extremely" important. If they weren't important, I wouldn't have bothered asking.

Pros

There really isnt anything positive about the company. They just did a pay increase and they bumped me up to just .5 cents above what new people will be making coming in the door. If you ask employees how they feel about the company they will tell you that they feel stuck and they have no morale.

Cons

Downsides are you give them 5 years and after they do a pay increase they bump you just a couple of cents over new hire in rates. Not fair to us veterans. Please look else where for a job stay away.

Pros

It is great to work for a Fortune 500 company and one of the most successful and profitable in the state of Colorado.

Cons

Company moral is extremely low. You would think there would be more benefits to working for such a successful company but they are very stingy.

Thank you for taking the time to write us a review - we do appreciate it! Sorry to hear that your experience(s) have been less than ideal. It sounds like one of the core issues relates to feeling overworked. As it seems like you are still with the company, we would encourage you to have a conversation with your immediate supervisor about ways to create a work-life balance in your current role. Sometimes we find that when employees are willing to have these courageous conversations, that understanding can often be reached between parties. With that being said, thank you for your dedication to our company!
