Pros

They made every effort to look after me and my team. You have the possibility of working from home. They are also nationwide, so lots of opportunity.

Cons

Over complicated process for the most simplest of things. Simple things like ordering a small item or simple tools (headset, ladder) may take three or four step approval process.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review about Arrow - glad you felt looked after here and that it seemed to be a positive experience overall. Great advice, and we certainly believe a culture of listening to each employee starts with everyone, not just our leaders. We hope you were able to cultivate that type of culture while you were here! Even though it would appear you are no longer with the company, we wish you all the best for your future endeavors!

Pros

Their schedule for 1st shift employees

Cons

Lousy management Lack of communication This place still runs like it's the 60s, management and senior employees have extreme bias and condescending attitudes and outlook, HR is a joke, it consist of one employee that handles an entire department, incidents aren't handled in a professional manner, extremely underpaid and don't even dare to voice it to management because you'll be called out and labeled as having no work ethic because of your upbringing or having some type of mental illness, extremely bias and offensive remark when 70 percent of your staff are of color and you're white, there's no compromising when it comes to the needs/ wants of employees to feel comfortable or confident working for them, it's 'you're going to do this because I said so' majority of employees are temp to hire but many don't stay long, during my final week my supervisor asked me why I was leaving and I didn't even care to explain myself to him, I was a direct hire and only after two weeks of being there knew this place is a complete dead end, but I was desperate, I needed some source of income in which I have yet to receive my last two paychecks from this place, word of advice to any looking for a place of employment in means to be able to take care of themselves or their families, look elsewhere

We are sorry to hear of your unfortunate experience(s) at Arrow. We wish you were still with the company so that we could get more insights into your exact situation, as we never want to have a work environment that is biased or offensive. For any future employees, we would encourage them to call the Arrow Alertline, a system which is built in place to report concerns anonymously and without fear of retaliation. This allows us to address concerns in a timely matter as they relate to certain areas of our business unit. Though you are no longer with us, please know we extend our wholehearted well wishes for your future career successes!
