Pros

A lot of good people to work with

Cons

preaches life balance but there isn't any except for management and sales........years without raises.......claims no money then annually would spend buying up companies right before annual reviews are due.................sorry no money left. Way too top heavy in VP's- how many you really need? Constantly lays off in the DC and programming depts. then rehires new temps as demand dictates. Loses trained people and again spends a fortune to late too train because the order volume already hit. Not interested in keeping trained experienced people during business downturn cycles. Hiring wage for entry level is too low for what is expected of people. Programming requires a different (higher) skill set than the DC operators...starting pay should be a buck higher. Theres Horrible order forecasting..................no method to check necessary equipment, supplies, and people before sales commits it to customer. Very little advancement possible in logistics..

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.
