Pros

- Arrow provides vacation and PTO slightly better than industry average. - Arrow provides a sizable catalog of educational classes. - Very liberal with travel budgets. - They treat sales people well.

Cons

- Below industry standard pay. - Horrible management and leadership. - Unethical business practices like asking worker to put masonic religious symbols on their e-mails, or providing workers with t-shirts with masonic religious symbols (all seeing eye, NWO winged globe, etc.) - Mass layoffs with no rhyme or reason. - Racist training courses. Every training video shows a helpless black person being victimized by an intellectually superior white person.

Thanks for taking some time to share your thoughts about Arrow and raise some concerns about your observations. It's always important to consider how our outward facing messages might be interpreted by others. Please note however, that you are not required or forced to use a masonic religious symbol on your email signature, and that you are welcome to use a more simple email signature of your choosing, should you so desire, which still reflects Arrow Electronics as a brand and our overarching vision to be "Five Years Out."

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.
