Pros

Possibility to telecommute, stable company, good salaries, and there some great, hardworking people there.

Cons

Your experience will depend on your direct boss. The company is so large that you can get lost if you aren't proactive. Also, the company doesn't invest much in education or perks unless you are in Sales. It's strictly no-frills--there aren't normal company functions i.e. an annual holiday party if you are into that sort of thing.

Pros

They offer above average benefits and competitive pay.

Cons

The executive leadership is completely out of touch with its employees and reality. They are more concerned with the bottom line to impress their stock holders than they are on creating a better customer experience and for taking care of and rewarding their employees. They don't offer profit sharing or employee stock options and for a company this size to not invest in education reimbursement speaks volumes of their lack of foresight. For a company that preaches "innovation" and "5 years out" they show little to no preparation for a future with good employees. They do not reward, they do not promote, and they do not invest in their own talent. The culture there is "don't screw it up" and it shows. This company is completely broke of action consistent to what it touts it is. Go work for them if you want to believe in false promises and are happy staying in a stagnant thankless job.

Thank you for your candid review of your experience at Arrow electronics - we're sorry to hear it sounds like your experiences here were not ideal. Many of the issues that you have discussed are under consideration, and one point it seems you are alluding to is compensation and taking care of our employees. One initiative we are excited about is an opportunity we have had lately to review our job profiles on site here and see what skills our workers have and the tasks they are doing on a daily, weekly, monthly, and annual basis. This, in turn, we believe will allow managers to have conversations with their current workforce about movement, either upward or cross-functionally. As it's been close to two years since this review was written, we hope that your new role is treating you well, and wish you all the best for your future successes!
