Pros

The people! The front line folks are the best. They care and want to do the right thing for the customer.

Cons

Management doesn't seem to care, all the way up the chain. The CEO said in a company wide call that he doesn't feel Arrow should pay for employees to get college degrees. So, tuition reimbursement went away. Health benefit choices are horrible. The pressure to make numbers is immense. They talk of the ability to move around and move forward but it does not ever seem to happen for people.

Pros

It is like any other corporation. If you kiss up enough, or perhaps do well enough, and get lucky, there is some opportunity.

Cons

It can get crazy stressful for the unfortunate who get the wrong accounts. Making $47k to run a $12 million account is just awful. You get a laptop, under the guise that you will only use it if needed is such a ruse. As innocuous as it begins, it will just become more work, for the same pay, and forget about bonuses, even if you are a top performer. Also, do not talk to HR. They are entirely in the pocket of management. There really is no such thing as "confidential input" there. As helpful as you want to be, you will almost certainly become dissatisfied, and end up looking elsewhere for employment.
