Pros

Arrow is one of the two largest Distributors in the Industrial Electronics Distribution Industry (Avnet is the other). They have a wonderful line-card (suppliers) and a very strong product and services offering. Given their position in the industry and product offerings, they can appeal to a very large target customer base. When a solid sales team is in place, they can move mountains. Many of the former leaders of this company were the best of the best. They groomed a culture that lasted decades.

Cons

There are virtually little to no traces left of this legacy culture. Most of the employees are either new and disgruntled or more tenured and disgruntled. HR became a revolving door, with little to no regard for the employee. Executive leadership who was tasked with managing this division, worked diligently to destroy any trace of the previous culture and instead worked to assimilate the culture to a more comfortable "Avnet", using the HR department and under-handed methods to rid themselves of these employees. There is little to no trace of strategic vision, except "the number".

We're sorry to hear that your experience of the company seems to have changed over the years. You raise many good points about looking internally and understanding what is going on, esp. with regard to why the workforce which in your words, appears to be "disgruntled." Thank you for your candid honesty! Although it seems like you are no longer with the company, we do wish you all the best for your future success(es)!
