Pros

If you don't have to work for or near the volatile CEO, it's a pretty low pressure environment, even slow paced - which may not be a good thing.

Cons

Arrow's situation is a bit more complex than some earlier posters have indicated. Arrow's middleman model is under attack from both sides: supplier and end customer. Like all reasonable business people, they're trying to eliminate the cost associated with a middleman distributor. Arrow has reacted a bit more slowly than its competitors, but all are facing declining margins. Having said that, Arrow will be around for quite some time. If you're looking for a dynamic, exciting work environment, it ain't Arrow. But if you're looking for a place to finish out a career, it's probably not too bad.

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.
