Pros

Higher than average starting salaries. Fairly decent benefits - health insurance is a crap shoot no matter what these days but their H.I. programs were far better than the company I had come from before Arrow. Some managers are okay to work with.

Cons

No training program(s) whatsoever. It’s very much a sink or swim environment from the get-go. There isn’t really any company culture, just a bunch of drones crunching numbers for 9 hrs a day. Co workers at your same job grade are often rude, impatient during the learning / onboarding process, and quick to finger-point. No bonuses ever in this department because bonuses are reserved for revenue generating positions such as sales. “Unlimited” vacation days per year is a scam because instead of accruing PTO and having to use-it-or-lose-it by year end, almost every employee will inevitably take maybe 1/2 or less vacation days as they otherwise would. Pre pandemic the company had a very strict in-office everyday policy and would only let you WFH if you had a broken leg or something and got sign-off from upper management (no company I had previously worked for was nearly as strict about being in-office every day, with hardly any exceptions like a sick child for example)

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.
