Below the worst of the worst

Pros

None that I could find out of years of service

Cons

These guys roll just beneath the ethics radar. They resort to mafia-like tactics, severe bullying (physical and verbal), withholding commissions; and performance reviews are a joke. They called one person a 'sociopath' in their perf. review.

Really sorry to hear that your experience at Arrow was unpleasant and you were bullied here. It is never our intention to have a hostile work environment for our employees, and wished that you felt empowered to escalate to the appropriate parties while you were with us. Without having more insight into your past situation, it's often difficult to know how to go about resolving the challenges you faced. Even though you are no longer with the company, please know we wish you all the best for your future endeavors.

Favoritism galore!

Pros

Good hours, good insurance.

Cons

Favoritism, no raises, poor supervision, poor leadership. The manager has no rapore with warehouse employees, teamwork is non-existent. There is no reward for hard work with this company...just more work.
