Pros

Arrow Electronics is making a shift towards becoming an incredibly successful Digital Company. They have the right leadership and management to make this happen and they are investing in top tier talent to help make this transition a reality. It is incredibly exciting to be a part of this transition. Arrow is also changing the corporate culture to mirror a start up which makes it an incredibly exciting place to work for young talent.

Cons

Arrow Electronics tends to offer salaries that are below market rate and doesn't often promote people internally. Raises are usually below 3% and its often times required if not strongly encouraged that you leave the company and come back if you want to see a significant pay bump.

Flexibility and being in front of customers, rather than sitting at a desk all day. Benefits are good. The people are good to work with.

Very stressful., Treated as a number and the only thing matters is marketshare and making the stockholders month.
