Pros

Brand new office. I was in an old office and got moved to the new one. It is a very nice facility. Arrow is becoming a brand that is known through the extensive branding that is out there, such as at Broncos games and commercials on TV. Flexible schedule depending on your department

Cons

Upper management and executives do not value their hardworking employees. Very shaky job stability. You never know when you are going to be laid off and your position replaced with a cheaper, less experienced person. It was a really great place when I started several years ago. But the constant worry of being laid off is stressful! Also, the opportunity for advancement is limited. IT is all who you know, not how good you are at your job. Benefits are awful. Very expensive compared to other large employers out there.

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.
