Avnet Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Avnet is a sad little company that wants to be IBM and Oracle, but can't be because they don't have intelligent management."

"Young, slick, modern NOT Avnet. If you had BizClass perks at your old job, Avnet will feel very economy, even stingy. Still, it's full of solid, smart, hardworking types, not adult babies like you often answer to in law/finance. Skews noticeably older. Benefits, etc. could be better but my base offer was surprisingly fair and came with work-life balance. Probably not a place where coworkers become your closest BFFs, but that's okay. CAVEAT to above: I work in corporate. Sales seems... ehh."

"I have worked for Avnet Technology Solutions since July 2012 for their build out of their HP ServiceOne practice. We have grown it to the largest ServiceOne channel partners."

"Excellent company for sales. As a technical person, it is fun and keeps you in touch with latest technologies as you expand your network, but there are little chances for career growth within a technical role."

"I extremely enjoyed working for Avnet and mentoring my peers and/or coworkers for completing a job from start to finish. Communication is a plus and a major strategy in order to get the workflow done more easily within a timely manner. In doing so, many of my coworkers have always come to me for innovation, advice, and assistance. The progress has been successful and the morale has excelled. Teamwork is essential by working together and knowing each other's work habits in order to progress."
