Pros

First and foremost, the management is utterly disrespectful towards employees. They constantly undermine our efforts, rarely acknowledging our hard work, and frequently resort to micromanaging instead of fostering a supportive environment. This lack of respect creates a toxic atmosphere that demotivates the entire team. Moreover, the company's unprofessionalism is astounding. There's a severe lack of communication between departments, resulting in numerous misunderstandings and wasted time. Meetings are disorganized and often devolve into unproductive arguments rather than constructive discussions. Additionally, the disregard for professionalism extends to how they handle client interactions. Deadlines are routinely missed, and there's a blatant disregard for quality control. This not only reflects poorly on the company but also damages client relationships. Overall, working was a frustrating experience due to their lack of processes and disrespectful behavior. I wouldn't recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional and supportive work environment.

Cons

having connections in management can mean receiving special treatment. Nepotism thrives, leaving those without insider ties at a disadvantage. This undermines fairness and professionalism, creating a toxic work environment.

Pros

I guess a paycheck could be considered a pro, but please look for a career elsewhere, you won’t regret it

Cons

Notice all the recent reviews are the same tone and verbiage, very sus in my opinion. Arrow lost many very good people over the last couple years, and it seems they just don’t give a crap. Horrible culture, and too wrapped up in diversity training. How about hiring based on merit? What a novel idea

Pros

* The car park is free

Cons

* New underqualified management now running the company and losing customers to more engaged and agile distributors * Zero onboarding for new starters * Mass exodus of staff due to poor management and development * A bullying culture has been actively encouraged by senior leadership leaving existing staff unmotivated and demoralised - behaviour verging on illegal !!!! * UK VP & Country manager disconnected from the staff and customers with overall company strategy echoing a complete unawareness of the current market. * The staff were once treated as the life blood of the business , teams went above and beyond as they felt supported and well developed , this is no longer the case and everyone has been reduced to a number on a spreadsheet that can be easily replaced * No value offered to customers - quote times are in the days, operations are all off shore with zero ownership , marketing function is all outsourced , frontline staff are under huge pressure to deliver unrealistic numbers. * Arrow have become a very poorly resourced quote function , with hardworking employees being bullied daily by poor management and delusional senior management.
