Pros

In this unstable economy, having a job is a big plus, period. Salaried and benefits are as good as most Fortune 500's. I would agree with an earlier commentator that lower levels of management are employee oriented and fair.

Cons

Unstable, confused strategy, lack of a clear value proposition, questionable senior management, worsening market position. It seems that every time Arrow takes another hit in the market, management resorts to knee-jerk layoffs. Freezing salaries in this market is probably not unreasonable, but laying off valuable contributers is.

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.
