Pros

The best reasons are 10 years old and have consistently declined and make it difficult to find many Pros. The remaining long term employees are still very professional and manage to do their jobs despite the long list of negatives.

Cons

During last 5 years there have been either No annual pay increases and the couple of years with increases were 1.5 to 2 % budgets. CEO and staff have no idea what they are doing and have constantly reorganized virtually annually for last 10 years. Senior Employees are Systematically replaced with entrée level low cost workers to save money. Employees are constantly berated, bonus restricted and no merit increase because of supposed missed Revenue/Earnings and then hear how the Company beat projections. Director and above are kool aid drinkers and never challenge senior management. Strategy is virtually nonexistent and seems to change on a whim. One Director when asked what the team would be doing after a long term system conversion said We'll just have to see what we see.

Pros

I had a very positive experience interning at Arrow Electronics. The management team was supportive and approachable, and communication was clear and consistent throughout my time there. Expectations were well‑defined, and I always knew where to go if I had questions or needed guidance. My coworkers were professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with, which made collaboration smooth and enjoyable. Arrow also has a strong support system in place for interns, which helped create an environment where learning and growth were encouraged. Overall, Arrow Electronics provided a well‑structured and professional internship experience, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the team. I would recommend Arrow to students looking for a solid and supportive internship environment.

Cons

I truly cannot think of much other than IT related hurdles which slowed down progress on my projects initially.
