I liked working there, but raises were slow and many days could be spent in higher stressed situations. - Program Manager Arrow Gear Employee Review

Pros

Arrow was competitive regarding pay for certain positions. A lot of attention was given to quality and making sure that only the absolute best products are shipped out.

Cons

There was a total lack of morale among all employees. Fear was the motivating tool used to force things to happen. Many in the management ranks are expected to work nearly every weekend as well as overtime throughout the week. Money is tight, and that is understandable, but employees still need to be given the tools to perform their jobs. Beating people up because they simply do not have the tools to do their job is not the fault of the employee. HR seemed to have some practices that appeared to not be ethical, but who do you go to then?

AGC went through a transition phase from family employee driven business to a process driven business. Besides improvements in quality and delivery it certainly also introduced accountability for performance. Some people might be afraid of this as they are not used to be measured by their output. Last year 1% of our employees got released involuntarily due to performance issues. Not a large amount. We were able to work with most employees. Overtime is required because we had a large past due backlog. It is normal to work more to reduce customer impact but we also try to accommodate the desire or no desire for OT based on the group. Due to all the changes made the future outlook for AGC and job security was never better than now.
