Pros

In my over 10 years of working at Arrow, I worked with many people that I have a great respect for. Some management willing to work with the employees to find a work life balance.

Cons

The benefits used to be exceptional and put Arrow above all other employers but over the years, the cost went up, coverage went down, lost tuition reimbursement, and lost sabbatical program. While some management is willing to work with employees, others (mostly the upper management ie directors) require salaried employees to get an unrealistic amount of work done in an unrealistic amount of time and has no problem coming in at 9 and leaving at 5 while their employees come in before 6am in the morning and leave after 10pm in the evening. Appreciation is rarely shown or communicated.

Pros

They paid well at the time, but then so did everybody in the 90s.

Cons

They hire and fire at will. They massively expanded in Englewood, then panicked because they discovered Westerners have opinions (unlike Melville robots) and then conduct massive layoffs. They cancel Christmas bonuses because they don't want people to get used to it.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with Arrow in 2013 - we understand it must have been tough during a period of layoffs. We value our front line employees and know they form a crucial part of what keeps our business running on the day-to-day. We appreciate your dedication to the company, and look forward to launching a new and improved careers portal, hoping that we can feature some of our employees in various locations and functions/jobs throughout the world!
