Pros

3 weeks of vacation (4 weeks after 7 years) and separate sick time. Local management will go to bat for you

Cons

Huge disconnect between front line employees and executives They'll do whatever they can to avoid paying out commissions (they aim for an 80% payout) The better an employee you are, the harder it is to make your goals No career advancement opportunities unless you are willing to move to Denver Every email announcement spouts how valued employees are, but there are no actions to match this sentiment

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.
