Pros

Large company, good training opportunities, respectable benefits, good work/life balance.

Cons

Non-stop layoffs; knee-jerk reaction to business cycles; executive team that is very resistant to change, despite with they say. Claim they want "innovation" and they want to be known as a tech company, but they are stodgy and very hesitant to try new strategies.

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.
