Pros

Flexible schedule Work life balance Line managers are great and care Arrow’s Pros are sometimes overlooked by employees. They do a lot to provide flexibility and to make your work life balance actually balanced. They have a great facility at HQ and keep it up. Lots of on-site amenities. I haven’t seen any clock watching or institutional micromanagement.

Cons

No career advancement Pay lags significantly behind market for most positions Endless layoffs There are a lot of cons to Arrow. Over the last two months Arrow has been losing good people to competitors or other firms at a high rate, and the executives could care less. Only token efforts to improve morale. There is also a complete disregard for career path. Management tries to pass off intern hires and lateral moves as promotions to hide the truth - which is there are no promotions. No raises in the last 2 years. Tools and processes are 20 years behind. No formal training for a lot of positions. Forcing employees into the office during the pandemic, hiding the true number of COVID cases on site. Layoffs are an answer for everything. Pay is not competitive with other technology companies. No strategy to grow at all other then to cut as many costs as possible.

Pros

My co-workers. That is all

Cons

I have been in the finance organization for over 15 years. Benefits keep getting worse, upper management is a joke (company was so much better under Bill Mitchell than ego maniac Mike Long). With Bill we had an open door policy. With Mike good luck getting anywhere near his office. Feels he is too good to be amongst the “worker bees”. I have seen good hard working people leave and be terminated for no reason with over ten years with the company. One person in particular asked why they were being terminated and the response from HR was “we don’t have the specifics in front of us”. This person had amazing reviews all ten years and was offered NO SEVERANCE.

Thank you so much for your feedback and for your long and faithful service to Arrow. We continue to pride ourselves on our open door policy, and that continues with Mike Long in charge. You are encouraged to bring issues forward to your leadership team, to any senior leader, or to the Arrow Alert line. While we can't comment on specific terminations, we can say that we work hard to ensure that every employee, including those being terminated, are treated with respect and dignity.
