      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.

      More of sales-focused organization than an innovative technology company

      Pros

      I worked at Arrow for a graduate school internship. Overall, the company was competent, the hours are reasonable, and most coworkers are friendly, competent individuals. The focus of the organization is finance and sales though, not technology or innovation. So if you are looking for a sales job or a role as a financial analyst, this could be a great opportunity.

      Cons

      If you aren't in sales or finance, it becomes clear in the company culture that you are less important. Also, if you weren't an athlete at some point in college you probably won't get considered for any high-up position. The "Five Years Out" slogan is nothing more than a glossy multi-million dollar campaign from a New York Ad Agency, and certainly doesn't reflect the culture or philosophy of the organization. Arrow succeeds more on its vast scope of sales and operational efficiency than it does on innovation or moving technology forward. Many of the management philosophies and technology used within the company, especially workflow, marketing, and analytics software, are clearly dated, which doesn't seem to fit with a company pushing "innovation."
