Pros

Arrow is one of the two largest Distributors in the Industrial Electronics Distribution Industry (Avnet is the other). They have a wonderful line-card (suppliers) and a very strong product and services offering. Given their position in the industry and product offerings, they can appeal to a very large target customer base. When a solid sales team is in place, they can move mountains. Many of the former leaders of this company were the best of the best. They groomed a culture that lasted decades.

Cons

There are virtually little to no traces left of this legacy culture. Most of the employees are either new and disgruntled or more tenured and disgruntled. HR became a revolving door, with little to no regard for the employee. Executive leadership who was tasked with managing this division, worked diligently to destroy any trace of the previous culture and instead worked to assimilate the culture to a more comfortable "Avnet", using the HR department and under-handed methods to rid themselves of these employees. There is little to no trace of strategic vision, except "the number".

We're sorry to hear that your experience of the company seems to have changed over the years. You raise many good points about looking internally and understanding what is going on, esp. with regard to why the workforce which in your words, appears to be "disgruntled." Thank you for your candid honesty! Although it seems like you are no longer with the company, we do wish you all the best for your future success(es)!

If you work there don't let them talk you into a company card

Pros

Mostly good people. Very predictable.

Cons

When you are given a corporate credit card you should hope you aren't let go while there are still charges on the card, when you are let go they confiscate the card, remove you from the intranet where expense reports aregarding filed and leave you stuck paying for the supplies you were told to buy. This was in the AVR facility in Gahanna. They stuck me with the bill and I'm sure that's a standard tactic.

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention - it is hard to get a holistic picture of what happened without knowing the exact details of the situation or the parties involved. We do apologize that this experience was seemingly handled in an inappropriate manner.

Pros

Arrow Electronics is making a shift towards becoming an incredibly successful Digital Company. They have the right leadership and management to make this happen and they are investing in top tier talent to help make this transition a reality. It is incredibly exciting to be a part of this transition. Arrow is also changing the corporate culture to mirror a start up which makes it an incredibly exciting place to work for young talent.

Cons

Arrow Electronics tends to offer salaries that are below market rate and doesn't often promote people internally. Raises are usually below 3% and its often times required if not strongly encouraged that you leave the company and come back if you want to see a significant pay bump.

Thank you so much for highlighting Arrow as an employer - we're currently working on an initiative to better understand the job families and profiles we have currently at Arrow, and, as a result, the pay scales and salaries that should correspond to those jobs. Appreciate your patience as we get this new initiative rolled out, and also, for your dedication to our company so far!
