Pros
Free parking and no coin operated bathrooms yet. Cost cutting measures could change that to help offset costs as the margins are very thin.
Cons
Like many large companies, you get a bit of everything - good and bad. The pay is very low for many and turnover is high in some departments. It has become a lot worse after the acquisition of Avnet. Layoffs were rampant long before this, but have become a common place now. Handling of these terminations were done very poorly and many former Avnet employees have been vocal about it, but only found closed eyes and ears. Many good employees have left since the acquisition. It was just announced to the market that the company is going to have $90 million in cost cutting in the next year or so to help improve profits, so the expectations are that even more layoffs will be forthcoming, Time to start looking elsewhere especially since the economy is good. I have stayed this long due to having to deal with a sick parent, but no more. Moral has been low for many years and this has made it worse. In general, regardless of what department you talk about, the environment is very toxic. It's made worse when one department is pitted against another and the actions they take is for their own benefit instead of the company overall. This is mostly due to senior management, who are in offices, show very little regard for employees on the floor, show a lot of favoritism, have a negative attitude in general and place blame on others when they should be looking in the mirror.
