Business Outlook
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.
