Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay, good office locations, and decent health insurance. Almost current technology and software used in most positions. Managers have lots of perks.

Cons

Devious, scheming, back-stabbing managers will throw employees under the bus to cover their own incompetence. Office politics are BRUTAL and pervasive. You WILL BE SPIED UPON in your phone and computer communications. You will NOT BE TRAINED. Expectations for your position will not be communicated to you, but you will be expected to have anticipated them and exceeded them. Managers change their objectives on an hourly basis. Gestapo-style HR department.

I'm sorry to hear about your negative experience at Arrow. Based on your notes above, I would encourage you to set some time to chat with your HR Business Partner. They could facilitate a conversation and create a more positive work environment for you.

Pros

Stable company, solid pay and decent opportunity to advance if you play the political game correctly.

Cons

Do your job to well and Sr Leadership tends to overwork and underexpose you due to fear of losing you internally. Insurance benefits are to expensive in relation to market and industry standards.
