Pros

Arrow was a great place to learn the distribution business - a skill you can take elsewhere. I guess you also learn how to survive frequent lay-offs.

Cons

Lay-offs aside, it's just not an exciting/fun company to work for anymore. The market has changed and Arrow can't seem to cope. Arrow just can't seem to find a way to leverage it's long-standing relationships with customers and suppliers. Corporate pounds on us to reduce inventory, customers take their business elsewhere when we don't have the parts, the suppliers constantly pressure margin. It ain't no fun.

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.
