Pros

Good supplier lines and exposure to various interesting technologies. Fellow colleagues are great people to work with and are some of the best human beings out there. Great product training every 9 months.

Cons

Can be challenging to implement any long term strategies as directions can change very quickly quarter to quarter, month to month, and sometimes week to week. Health insurance benefit is very poor. Commission incentive is not linear and starts to cut in at a high percentage to plan. Moral is low with a sense of confusion. Process and metric can trump over actual results for political reasons.

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.
