Pros

Somewhat stable Fortune 500 company with decent benefits. Good customer and supplier base.

Cons

Upper management does not seem to care about the folks actually doing the work in the trenches, finding ways to cut pay substatially by tweaking commission plans to make it almost impossible to make commission, even though we are working our butts off. Always feeling like you could be laid off at any moment. And they seem to make some poor decisions going in too many strange directions. But they make sure they still take home their millions.

A glorified Sweat Shop

Pros

A paycheck and not much else.

Cons

A very poor corporate culture. Supervisors generally lack Diploma's and common sense. Most employees are disgruntled , overworked and burnt out. They feel hassled by management who seem to hinder more than help the employees. H.R. inept is virtually non existent so employees have to fend for themselves. I would stay far away from this place.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences at Arrow in March 2014 - we are sorry to hear that it sounds like your experiences were frustrating, and that many of your colleagues appeared overworked and burnt out. It would seem like that the particular managers who were charged with overseeing your team weren't ideal. Without more specific details, it is often hard to know how to resolve the issues you experienced. Although it appears you are no longer with the company, please know we wish you all the best for your future endeavors.
