Pros

The only positive about the company was the benefits but eventually those even were a disappointment

Cons

Extreme micro management, very little chance for advancement, even less of a chance to make money in sales. Every time a sales person would achieve their goals and objectives instead of rewarding with commissions and bonuses, the management would increase the goals and objectives.

We are sorry to hear that your experience at Arrow was truly an unpleasant one for you - we are certainly saddened that you felt extremely micromanaged, and that you were not compensated adequately for achieving your goals and objectives. Since you wrote this review, we have begun to re-examine our compensation and benefits in order to get a better understanding of our workforce and the tasks they are achieving on a regular basis. We feel this will help us align ourselves globally with the market and also reward individuals based on the work they do or seek to move into. Thank you for your time here, and for your dedication to the company while you were here - we wish you all the best for your future endeavors!

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.
