Pros

Proximity to I-25. Cafeteria and gym are adequate when open. HSA and 401K plans are decent.

Cons

Merit increases (which are effectively cost of living increases most years) did not happen in 2020 due to COVID-19 (as of July). However, employees are currently expected to come into the office every other week despite most if not all corporate jobs being doable remotely. Management’s response from the beginning has essentially been reactive, requiring remote work only at the very last second when it was mandated by the Governor. It shows that they do not really care about employees’ well being. Profit > people. In the handful of years during my employment, not once did we have a fire drill during working hours. Think about that for a second.

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.
