Arrow Electronics reviews

We had a company CEO prior to Mike Long who outsourced lots of jobs to India to a company called "Infosys". People in India make a fraction of what workers in the U.S. make and probably don't have health insurance so this saved Arrow lots of money. Therefore, the CEO and the board members got to stuff even more millions of dollars in their pockets as if they weren't making enough money already. This practice is extremely selfish considering the amount of money they make and the fact that all those employees had to find new jobs in a very sluggish economy. To add insult to injury we had to train our Indian replacements! They did give us a bonus for doing so, but that was a pittance compared to what this company was saving. If I were ever faced with that decision again I would get up and walk out. Why should we make it easy for these guys to destroy more jobs in the U.S.? Our pay plan was changed just about every year to benefit the company. We were paid salary plus commission based on inventory turns and sales or "turns and earns". When sales fell off our commission was based heavier on sales thus netting less of an income. They were always messing with our commission portion with no explanation as to why, but everyone knew why. There were very few women in management and the few who were chosen were less than desirable. It seemed as if the managers had little training in how to deal with people effectively.
