      Aggressively trying to be #1

      Pros

      I observe, at Arrow, a ‘bottom-line’ corporate culture. The focus is always on the business statistics that control our stock valuation and cash-flow. In combination with Arrow’s compensation methodologies (ex. 70/30 base/incentive split salary) the individual employee is able to, with just a modicum of business acumen, directly affect their compensation and performance appraisals. This culture also, perhaps counter-intuitively, allows for certain freedoms an individual may not experience in another industry or even a direct competitor. One small example: As long as an employee is meeting and exceeding the business goals set for them their superior will, on average, allow a great deal of leeway regarding work times, punctuality, appointments and etcetera.

      Cons

      Arrow’s focus on business statistics can also be the corporation’s biggest con as well. Hard numbers don’t, usually, reward the ‘innovator’ employee. These employees may (and have been) cut in the rush to reduce operating expenses and increase productivity (output/labor-hour). Ironically, those are the types of employees that will help Arrow reach the goal of clear market leader most quickly and efficiently.

      Pros

      Company seems to be able to keep afloat & continues to purchase more small companies.

      Cons

      Company stays afloat by RIF & new company purchases - core issue not directly attacked.
