Pros

- Nice new building - Cafeteria is good - high quality fellow accountants

Cons

Oh my let's start the list - No work/life balance - Clueless middle management - Merit increases were a joke - No room for promotion unless you were a "golden child" suck up - Layoffs and threats of losing your job, lost so many good people in 2017 - Increased workload because of layoffs - The best workers seemed to turnover in high number in 2016-2017 and replaced with young kids straight of college - Toxic upper management, absolutely no vision that supports the employees and their career development, makes you wonder what they are being paid for. - Benefits were absolutely terrible, no tuition reimbursement, CEO made comment that "I am not in the business of educating people" when asked about a TR program, most are sure his tuition was covered for his advanced degree in the 80's. - Unrealistic expectations on deadlines, many nights working until almost midnight during a close period.

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.
