Professional Company and Dervesified
Product Manager/Customer Support Manager (Former Employee), Richardson, TX – February 26, 2013
Pros: great benitfits, professional company, culture/values very dervesified
Avnet Electronics is committed to their employees always treated them with respect and dignity. As an account management I was an liaison between outside sales and the customer. In my duties I was resposible for quoting and biding on customers drawings to assure competitive pricing and availability, to increase sales and gross profit dollars for the – more... company. Management was always welling to help to overcome obstacles that arraised when trying to perform your job duties as well as Team members. Over all Avnet was a very enjoyable company to work for. – less

Excellent Coorporation
Sr. Inventory Control Clerk (Former Employee), Chandler, AZ – January 21, 2013
Pros: good benefits
Cons: got laid off
Great place to work. Shift was from 7am to 3:30pm with 30 min lunch. Very diverse group of people so it made challenges easy to work out. Hardest part of the job was coworkers not following proper protocols, made my job frustrating. Most enjoyable was being recognized as a valued employee with a plaque.

Worst experience Ever
Computer Tech II QA (Former Employee), Chandler Az – December 5, 2012
Pros: nothing to brag about sorry.
Cons: everything
coming out of the military as a grunt, i changed careers and became a tech at avnet, worked for them for 6 years, work was always repetitive , hardly any recognition, always expect to go above and beyond for nothing. Some people love it there but I have come to believe they do so cause of how much brown nosing is done to stay there. Management is very – more... poor and the people they choose for promotions are even worse. The performance scale is absurd and the mandatory weekends when they have them. when they were really busy you could expect to work all month with no days off even if you had vacation saved up. as far as what i learned? well i learned that Avnet is a horrible place to work for, out side of skills i gained nothing from them except that even if you go error free externally from QAing everyones systems you get no recognition from it what so ever. My most enjoyable part of the job was leaving at the end of the day. I wish i had something decent to say about Avnet but the fact is I dont. the severance package was horrible, Getting unemployment is near impossible until after you have recieved your Severance and pension checks. so you can expect to go about 3-6 months before you can even receive UI benefits at least in Arizona. – less

Productive, always learning something new. Not stable work.
Technician (Former Employee), Chandler, AZ – October 29, 2012
Pros: good hours, clean work place
Cons: no work for long periods of time, unable to contact management.
Always busy, good learning experience. Management lacked communication, few co-workers seemed distracted or off task. Hardest part of the day, being told there's no work for you after a four hour shift, or not being called in for two weeks if not longer. Most enjoyable part, learning and handling of server hardware/software workings.
