Arrow Electronics Employer Reviews

I worked for Arrow for almost 19 years and it was one of the best places I worked. I got into the industry through someone I knew not what I knew but that quickly changed throughout the years. The best part of the job was my local office, the people were extraordinary and we all got along well and everyone had a sense of humor. I enjoyed going to work – more... everyday . It had an open door policy and you could go talk to local management and feel heard and not judged. I got to learn different job positions as well as multiple computer programs as each supplier had a unique system for their business purposes. I enjoyed all the people that called or walked through the door and made many acquaintances and lifelong friends. The hardest part of the job was not being able to accommodate everyone's needs within the time frame they required, due to circumstances out of your control.
What I learned was people skills, communication, customer service, multiple computer skills, how to listen, how to resolve a problem, offer solutions to customers, patience, mostly how to be a team player and also took time to help others.
Due to economic conditions my position was transferred to a different location otherwise I would still be there, but on the positive side being let go gave me opportunities to try my hand at something different. I went back to school and am completing my practicum to earn a medical office assistant certificate. – less

This is for some one who is a quick learner in a wide variety of electronics and parts.

Good people to work with,but management made poor decisions resulting in company shutting down the facility.

Great working environment. Co-workers are friendly and professional and a pleasure to work with.

While working at Arrow I learned to be more proficient with Excel and Microsoft word.

I learned so much about being part of a team and have never found another job quite like it.

Management staff was good
The hardest part of the job was sometimes the sales team
The most enjoyable was the staff e=members

This job was my introduction to the Aero-Space/Tech industry. I learned so much during my time with Arrow. A typical day would consist of processing orders and assuring ontime delivery to our customers. I was responsible for change-order management, as well as a back-log report of 500+ line items. Attention to detail, suberb time-management skills, – more... and excellent organization skills were essential to performing this job effectively. The most enjoyable part of the job was the relationships built with the customers that was reflected upon in the growing business. – less

My job included different tasks for daily operation. I was moved around from place to place basically wherever I was need

Many good employees and managers, get as much money as possible when hired since raises/promotions will be small if they happen at all and Arrow will squeeze as much work out of you for as little money as possible. Be prepared to play office politics.

Arow Electronics is a goo company to work for they have a gret Human Resorce and siome managment

I was employed for 15 years with the company that Arrow Electronics bought (Lex Electronics). My position at Lex Electronics was Manager of Product Accounting, which was a department that was created to identify all the profit losses which went undiscovered. Upon creation of this department it was quickly noticed by upper management that this area saved – more... the company several million dollars a year. I did learn quite a bit at Arrow due to the fact that after I completed the transition of incorporating the Product Accounting Department to Arrow, I transferred to Inventory Management responsible for Intel and Motorola.I really enjoyed working with inventory and also a variety of other manufacturers. This was an entire different side of the company and I feel that I was an asset in this position with my financial background, as I met all the goals that were set. – less

It was a very good place to work and very challenging. It was fast paced which i liked

Company is committed both to its customers and its employees.

My typical work day consist of getting a pass down from the Supply Cordinator before me. Logging into my computer. Checking my emails. Then print On Demand Carrier Check list. This is a print out of all the orders requiering tape that are due for this day. I walk to every location and verify that we have these tapes avaialable. I maintain the "Cage". – more... This is where all the supplies and orders are distibuted through out the floor. I make labels for orders, kit orders and load and unload the conveyer. I'v learned so much from this company about ordering supplies throught the world from different vendors. I work all day with may co workers getting them the supplies they need to do there jobs. So we all have to get along. I like my co workers. The hardest part of my work day is having to keep up with all the demands of supplies. I do it very well but is hard sometimes. The most enjoyable part of my day is knowing that I am a big part of this companies production.. – less

This is a terrible company to work for and they are constantly changing the rules. They will not train you on the new and up coming systems so if you go to work there expect no training.

Terrible company to work for..they burn and churn people as fast as they can. Political snake pit. Awful management style is abundant.

Terrible company too work for they don't really train you like that. They change the rules all the time and if you don't understand the rules they will let you go. It's just a terrible company

Sales team was great, I learned so many new things in the Electrical Distribution industry - made field sales calls, met alot of new people. Not having an electrical degree made this field sales job a little difficult for me.

Enjoy the many years of growth and being part of the results.
As a leader I enjoy working with the team to execute for success.

I enjoyed my work at Arrow Electronics. I was an employee a total of 24 yrs in various markets. Last 10 yrs specific to the Military Marketplace.
