Pros

If you really look for new opportunities, you find them. Avnet has a variety of positions where you can learn different subjects. Most people are very team oriented and friendly. Once in a while you find an arrogant person, but may not last very long.

Cons

Very low compensation compared to the industry. Tend to freeze salaries quite often, and Avnet doesn't make up for the loss when it is doing good. Keeps teams very lean, in other words, people have to do a two persons job, sometimes more. It doesn't offer bonuses, and it tends to look for position replacements outside the company. Politics are an everyday game. If the big guy says no, it is hard to pass that.

Pros

Many good people, lots of resources, substantial inventory positioning, good value-added programs, good training.

Cons

lack of advancement opportunities unless you're a "golden child" or a "good ole boy". Many good people passed over for advancement which eventually leads to them leaving. Top management talks a good game, but at the end of the day, the important thing is the almighty profit dollar. Pay raises were non-existent, and sales budgets always manipulated so a person could not exceed their budget.
