It's always great to hear from our international offices at Arrow - thanks for sharing a review! You'll be pleased to know that in late 2016 / early 2017 we're rolling out a new initiative that will enable managers to have conversations with their employees about career growth, either crossfunctionally or vertically.

Business Outlook

Pros

40 hours a week ("salary" + commission based), possible to not take work home at night (baggage) if you can not let things bother you, excellent benefits (401K, Health, etc).

Cons

Upper management seems to have no idea when they roll out changes how it will effect their employees (no idea what we do or how much we do), general lack of financial care for the well being of their employees (cost of living wage increases, merit, etc), and glass ceiling with regard to career advancement unless you play the corporate roll.

Business Outlook

Pros

Overall, it was a great experience working for Arrow ECS until all the changes happened within the last 2 years. Arrow ECS really invests in their people and management has always been supportive.

Cons

Oracle takes over Sun Microsystems and the Alternative Technologies aquisition was very challenging to some of the peers I know.
