Pros

Friendly coworkers and generally an upbeat environment that employees enjoy various freebies and employees motivated by events.

Cons

As the largest IBM distributor; Arrow is not the company it used to be. A good company yet high sales pressure pushed and imbalance of accounts with the sales reps along with a struggling IBM has faded the glory. With two reductions in workforce over the last three years and a moving management that allowed for poor new managers and no leadership. The reduction left and added administrative processed added to the sales staff is over loading reps with processes instead time to so sell or service customer. Long hours are expected.

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.
