Pros

Stability - strong financials. Good opportunities to move laterally into other disciplines or functions. They listen to people who know what they're doing.

Cons

Not lots of vertical opportunity to grow - organizationally, it's relatively flat, with few layers from top to bottom. This isn't necessarily bad, it's just the nature of distribution.

The problem is the 'A" in Arrow.

Pros

Pay is very competitive. Management counceling and feebacks are good. People are friendly.

Cons

Management are too arrogant (the A in Arrow)to listen. Even if they agree, they won't tell you that they agree and certainly would not act on it. Motivation to improve is extremely low. Management like to stay in the same process (if there is one) than making changes for the better. Cannot face issues head on and prefer to pat each other's back than providing constructive feedback for the better. The Lean 6 Sigma is really for the the purpose of 'Lean" and not efficiency, best practices. Company culture does not understand project management. PMO does not have any project manager, so forget about management methodology, structure and process. Benefits is below average. HR department is disconnected with the business. Since growth is by acquisitions, all divisions are disconnected and no consistence process and procedures.
