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.

Pros

If you value stability and job security, this is the place to be. Avnet benefits from all the business being routed in from semiconductor companies. Good work life balance.

Cons

Insurance and benefits could be better.
