Pros

If you need a job in Denver then you could give Arrow a shot. If you are looking for a position within Arrow outside of Denver I would not recommend it. If you get the job do not get too comfortable.

Cons

No security outside of Denver. CEO sold his soul to the city. Promised 1000s of jobs to city of Denver. Majority of jobs came from other cities and smaller branches all over the country being closed. Branding campaign has cost 100s of jobs so CEO could finance his $100M marketing/ad campaign. Company has spent an estimated $400M in the last few years on stock buy back programs to benefit share holders. Most employees do not even get ESOP type stock distributions anymore. Where did the execs find 5% of OI to sponsor an Indy Car?

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.
