Risky Business

Pros

Used to be great, but with TS division $25M cut back due Dec., remaining employees after numerous layoffs are overworked, stressed and not able to provide the OEM and reseller support to be successful.

Cons

Constant re-orgs and layoffs. Employees don't know what their roles are and are scared for their jobs. Low employee moral and high internal competition to stay employed! It's an executive "Good Old Boys" club and the execs play musical chairs while letting the actual contributors to the success of the organization go via lay offs. I think they all are hoping to cash in and retire soon. Not concerned about the company's success.

Avnet USED to put people before profit!

Pros

Telecommuting, great people, flexible schedules. Great vacation approval process. The people that are actually making the wheel go around in this company are good people. Great personalities and a grounded work environment. There is definitely the opportunity to learn about multiple sides of the business if you can become your own advocate of learning.

Cons

No career succession or professional development plans, quarter after quarter layoffs. Ever since their failure of the ERP deployment Avnet has responded to decreasing it's overhead by getting rid of the good people that helped keep that ship afloat. They can't handle the business they choose to pour their profit into in attempt to keep hold of the market share. Instead of truly assessing the shortfall of upper management they are creating a skeleton crew on the floor. If someone quits, they do NOT replace that role and still they will choose quarter after quarter to lay off 10% of their people.
