Ventajas

Room for advancement but you'll sell your soul for it

Desventajas

-Managers are so complacent and their lack of work ethic causes workload to be pushed to the staff -When close comes around you will not see managers lending a hand but rather gossiping in one of their cubes -No training, and its your fault you didn't ask for it -Managers gossip about employees and are not shy about doing so, they'll also talk about employees to their "favorites" -Managers seem to have unlimited vacation, even during close. Oddly enough its the end of the world and their job when a staff misses a close day (1 week every month) -Rule out vacations for 1 week every month and 2 weeks every quarter end! Thats 16 weeks a year you do not DARE miss a day or you better believe you're going to have problems -You will work late nights closes are generally 10PM and beyond, 1 AM + nights are certainly not unheard of and you must be there before 8AM the next day -Job was similar to public accounting hours without the perks or career advancement -Benefits are worthless... Count out retirement because there is a 5 year vesting period and you will not last that long the longest I saw was 3 years (trust me I know how much liability was released every year) -Do not expect lunches, dinners, or anything extra to be provided by the company. Let me be clear there are no cool perks about working here -No bonus -No tuition reimbursement -No stock options or purchase discount -No free or discounted goods/services Look at the number of job postings for Arrow accounting and finance jobs at any given time and that should tell you how much of a revolving door these departments are

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.

Desventajas

I truly cannot think of much other than IT related hurdles which slowed down progress on my projects initially.
