Pros

My co-workers. That is all

Cons

I have been in the finance organization for over 15 years. Benefits keep getting worse, upper management is a joke (company was so much better under Bill Mitchell than ego maniac Mike Long). With Bill we had an open door policy. With Mike good luck getting anywhere near his office. Feels he is too good to be amongst the “worker bees”. I have seen good hard working people leave and be terminated for no reason with over ten years with the company. One person in particular asked why they were being terminated and the response from HR was “we don’t have the specifics in front of us”. This person had amazing reviews all ten years and was offered NO SEVERANCE.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for your long and faithful service to Arrow. We continue to pride ourselves on our open door policy, and that continues with Mike Long in charge. You are encouraged to bring issues forward to your leadership team, to any senior leader, or to the Arrow Alert line. While we can't comment on specific terminations, we can say that we work hard to ensure that every employee, including those being terminated, are treated with respect and dignity.

Pros

Vanguard 401(k), unlimited vacation, parking garage.

Cons

The culture at Arrow Digital is about as toxic as it gets. If you're into whispering and gossiping, this is the place for you! Onsite benefits like workout facilities are pretty useless for some teams because other teammates are noticing if you're not at your desk and reporting the "unexcused absence" up the chain. This is encouraged by management. Arrow Digital Management is spinning its wheels, providing no strategic direction to the team, resulting in 3 rounds of layoffs during my short time with the digital organization. Their poor handling of their business is rewarded with bonuses and continued employment, while the people working long hours (without the possibility of a bonus) are watching their friends and co-workers leave without even being allowed to grab their coats on their way out. Arrow Digital understands at-will employment and eliminates jobs on the reg, providing a cushiony 3 day window for families to find new health insurance. I don't know much about Mike Long, but I would provide two thumbs down to the Chief Digital Officer & President, Matt Anderson. He built the site well from scratch, but hasn't been able to run the business successfully since. His leadership is defined by hiding in his office (across a major street from his team) and then screaming at individuals, often half his age, during meetings. The layoffs aren't his fault...it'll be your fault for joining his organization.
