Pros

Fair compensation and good benefits. Formal approach to bonus compensation, annual employee reviews, and succession planning. Have established platforms for solid communication to all employees regarding business conditions and company performance.

Cons

Many of the unique programs that made Arrow different from other companies such as new employee training program in Melville, sabbatical program, and education reimbursement have been eliminated over the last several years. Job security is always in question as targeted layoffs have occurred in many different organizations year after year

Pros

3 weeks vacation within the first year. At times middle management tries to make things better but corporate management doesn't seem to care about their employees that are making the money for the company.

Cons

Required to work on some holidays. Can be dirty work. Hard to get the proper tools needed to do the job. Low wages.
