Pros

I truly love my job. I like my management, not micro-managers and always available to help. It's a great place to start a career if you're a self-starter. You are WFH except for when you schedule meetings with suppliers, customers, and with management. Very flexible schedule. Commission is great if you're going into a market with substantial accounts and prior business.

Cons

Training is not effective or tailored to your position (ADR/FSR/ISR). There is online training for oracle and sales, but everyone within the company knows that it's not viable. You aren't selling an engineer a component; you're selling Arrow and yourself - very different sales. You learn while you're on the job. Benefits are good, but not good enough to make a lifelong career here. Not enough paid holidays (MLK, Juneteenth, Indigenous Peoples not included for a company now focused on diversity). No WFH stipend. No Tuition Reimbursement/Assistance. No Wellness Budget. The car stipend is not very competitive (suppliers pay double/month).

Pros

I had a very positive experience interning at Arrow Electronics. The management team was supportive and approachable, and communication was clear and consistent throughout my time there. Expectations were well‑defined, and I always knew where to go if I had questions or needed guidance. My coworkers were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, which made collaboration smooth and enjoyable. Arrow also has a strong support system in place for interns, which helped create an environment where learning and growth were encouraged. Overall, Arrow Electronics provided a well‑structured and professional internship experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the team. I would recommend Arrow to students looking for a solid and supportive internship environment.

Cons

I truly cannot think of much other than IT related hurdles which slowed down progress on my projects initially.
