Pros

Wear jeans on Friday and many of the employees are nice and hardworking.

Cons

Poor processes and systems don't provide opportunities for success. If this way of doing things is all a person knows, maybe you will think it'snormal. I do not think it's normal to work overtime each week fixing problems because no planning was done on the front end. I also question the competency of middle management. I read on another review that it all rolls downhill. That appears true in providing no recognition for hard work and success, simply chastising for challenges not yet addressed. Because of the bad processes and systems, there is a ton of busy work that needs to be performed.

Pros

In my position there is allot of autonomy. I am able to run my accounts like it was my own business

Cons

Very slow to change. As with any big company communication for the top down is very poor.

Thank you for sharing your experiences at Arrow- it's unfortunate to hear that your experiences here are not ideal. Looks like you're looking to grow, and we are in the middle of creating plans that will allow managers to have conversations with their current workforce about ways to grow internally. This is also gong to ensure that compensation adequately maps onto the tasks and duties performed on a daily basis. Appreciate your patience as we roll this new process out.
