Pros

Pretty much left alone to do your job. Good coworkers. Friendly place to work.

Cons

You'd better make money when the sun shines and stick it away because eventually, if you're in sales, there's always a 12-24 month period when you'll starve. You make money one year, and you're saddled with a large budget the next to make sure it doesn't happen again. I was a 15 year + employee, surpassing 130% to plan for 2.5 years, making good money, and they laid me off because they were tired of paying me. Their philosophy is make changes, upset the customers, but "they'll come back eventually." They care WAY TOO MUCH about the short term benefit, instead of long term success when it comes to employee layoffs.

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.
