Pros

Location, company is competitive in the industry, on-site cafeteria and gym. All employees have nice cubes. Pay is good, benefits are average

Cons

Management doesn't care about their employees , the work environment and culture is bad. Lacks teamwork, co-workers can be difficult to trust and many are unfriendly.. Poor systems and there are no documented processes to fall back on. Employees are treated like a number and easily replaceable. They preach employee appreciation, but its only lip service.

Pros

-the people that work at this company are friendly and positive which is hard to maintain with morale in the dumps and getting worse.

Cons

- promotions through popularity - constant fear of layoffs - the executive team only cares about their wallets and it's a damn shame - a lot of incompetent tactical managers - traffic in the DTC is terrible - going into 9201 feels like a prison entrance - no tuition or professional certification reimbursement...zero, zilch, nada

Pros

Flexible schedule Work life balance Line managers are great and care Arrow’s Pros are sometimes overlooked by employees. They do a lot to provide flexibility and to make your work life balance actually balanced. They have a great facility at HQ and keep it up. Lots of on-site amenities. I haven’t seen any clock watching or institutional micromanagement.

Cons

No career advancement Pay lags significantly behind market for most positions Endless layoffs There are a lot of cons to Arrow. Over the last two months Arrow has been losing good people to competitors or other firms at a high rate, and the executives could care less. Only token efforts to improve morale. There is also a complete disregard for career path. Management tries to pass off intern hires and lateral moves as promotions to hide the truth - which is there are no promotions. No raises in the last 2 years. Tools and processes are 20 years behind. No formal training for a lot of positions. Forcing employees into the office during the pandemic, hiding the true number of COVID cases on site. Layoffs are an answer for everything. Pay is not competitive with other technology companies. No strategy to grow at all other then to cut as many costs as possible.
