Arrow Electronics reviews

The tagline "Five Years Out" refers to when the good things will happen. Communication with VPs and lower level employees must go up and down the chain of command. The health benefits can take up to 60 days to start, but they turn off on your last day at the company even though you paid premiums for the whole month. The annual merit increases were 3+ months late, execs worked to find ways to drastically reduce the number of employees getting minimal 3% merit increases, no matter their performance. Employees have no idea what the company actually does/produces, even though the Super Bowl commercial made it look like they use legos to fold paper airplanes. HR Leaders work below their level and don't trust their people hired for the jobs they are hired to do. The Executive Committee is not at all involved with their organization - they sits in a different building than 90% of the employees, referred to as the "Ivory Tower." Arrow doesn't value their employees, even though they keep talking about an “Employee Value Proposition” that is as nebulous as it sounds. There was an HR Reorganization that was done just to save money, and was communicated to employees that way, even though some of them were losing their jobs.
