Pros

Good people and atmosphere, solid communication between departments and encouragement to pursue career mobility.

Cons

Training for this position is very limited and doesn't prepare you very well to operate in your position. It's very trial by fire and you'll need to learn as you go

Thank you for taking time to share about your experiences here at Arrow - we are sorry that you felt there was a lack of training in place. We often encourage our employees to take the lead in finding a mentor or people that can help them who are a little more seasoned, as well. There is a wealth of knowledge throughout this company! Although you are no longer with Arrow, we do wish you the best for your future endeavors.

Pros

Great industry experience working for Arrow Electronics. Most of the people there are great to work with and you have the ability to advance if you want to.

Cons

Commissions are paid based on your ability to meet pre-determined sales targets. So it's hard to make commission when the market is slow or down.

Pros

Free Coffee, lots of connections to different parts of the business, SHOULD be a great entry level position.

Cons

Management is a mess, they have no idea how to do the job that they manage, the difference in management is either a complete micro-manager who is constantly breathing down your throat or a manager that is hard to ever get in contact with because they are CONSTANTLY in meetings. They do not provide anything to our department, raises are difficult to come by and the only way that you are recognized is if you spend all of your time sucking up to managers. There is absolutely NO growth in this department and the constant shifting of accounts, rules and management is tiresome. The company as a whole is just as a giant corporation would be, they cater to their executives while providing little to no support to the smaller employees. Their employee retention is horrible. If you can manage to get out of customer care it's difficult to find manager support to do so.
