Sharp Electronics Corporation (US)

In retrospect, Sharp Electronics will always be looked at as boot camp training for Corporate America. I learned how effective oral and verbal communication is between internal and external clients. I learned how organization, using the correct recourses, and extreme confidence and knowledge come a long way when it comes to client retention, and productivity amongst colleagues. As time progressed with my employment at Sharp Electronics, I was delegated infinite responsibility on the operations side of the branch. I wasn’t trained on a lot of task that were delegated to me (mileage reimbursement, purchase orders, account payable/receivable resolution, etc...); however, I learned more than I would have ever learned in collage. Multi-tasking has become second-nature for me; for example, in the midst of my assigned task, I was communicating via, phone and email with thirty-sixty clients per day, in regard to payment and service request/resolution. My cultivated skills and knowledge have grounded me to take on almost any future job/responsibility I would be a great fit for.

Days were intense and challenging, but that made the days move fast.
I grew up at this company - over the years I learned how to solve problems, how to investigate issues and come to productive conclusions in order to watch the bottom line.
I saw an industry grow with new inventions that at the beginning were only dreams.  It was an exciting ride for so many years.
Co workers make the company and I had great ones.  We talked situations over to gain different view points and different experiences from all who needed to be involved in the decision and came to conclusions that fit for every department when we need to solve a problem or change a process.
Management had turn overs in the past few years that made it unsettling since you had to learn each bosses way of handling the processes.  Everyone came in with a different process and wanted to change to what they were use to not what was good for the company.
The hardest part was change that was not good for the company, but since it was management you had to follow their direction.
The most enjoyable part was of course the people.  Learning from the culture and problem solving the issues.  Love to dig deeper, analyze and report my findings.

Working at Sharp was very different for me I stand on my feet from 6 to 3 every month Monday through Friday packing shipping and weighing the medicine is back in it so we can be shipped out this is all day long you have to be very fast because the machines office at all times half of the times the machines breakdown so we don’t have any work so they put us on different machines some different parts you can sit down some different parts you have to stand there we have  then they gave us to 20 minute breaks and be back at work again we have to wear all whites to work in the medicine department are here have to be covered no earrings no ranks we allow the Apple Watch our uniforms have to be all white we have to wear gloves suit up and on our feet as well but I enjoyed working there is this that is too far for me I’m looking for something closer to where I met in Philadelphia that’s all but I am a very hard-working person I’m 52 years old  I do have a lot of bills to pay I have four kids I’m passionate understanding I get along with my fears haven’t had any trouble having been fired I’m a very hard-working person thank you

This is my second review for the same company, indeed.com staff didn't post my first review. I wonder why... probably because it told the truth.

Anyway, a typical day at work involved working overtime for no pay. That's right, after 5pm, I would go home and have to check and look over my service calls for the day, then send emails about my activity because Sharp's phone app didn't even work properly, it was 100% glitched out. 2 hours a night for free. That's 2 hours I didn't get to see my kids.

Management: What can I say? There was none.

My co-workers: Were afraid of the service manager like he was The Grim Reaper.

Hardest part of the job was dealing with management, not even the customers or the machines themselves.

The most enjoyable part of the job: The day I gave my two week notice (which, by the way, at the end of the day they told me not to bother to come back to work my last 2 weeks).

Save yourself some misery and look elsewhere, possibly into a union job with good benefits, these types of companies exist to make mincemeat out of human beings.

My day strats normally with Meeting my staff, Training, go out on appointments, customer support and interfacing with my manager. My office environment is very good and all of my per's respect my work and suggestions as well as being direct and firm. The hardest part of the day is get the sale processed with all of the documents supporting sales and detailed work to overlook to gt my final approval. My most enjoyable part of my companies environment is we all share war stories, company policy, promotions and how to structure deals turned in to increase the gross profit.

Most of my day that cause's excitemnt is to make contact and reach out to current and potential customers in providing solutions in hardware and data services.

HOwever, this isn't a quote on quote Silicon Valley environment with ping pong tables, relax rooms, game rooms and other forms of fun and relation, it's all business and growing the business.

IT environment was not restrictive.  This environment was lax.  if you want to build your own tool-set to get your job done faster, better or more efficient you can.  no one will tell you not to.  As long as you get the job done and close tickets on time no one will get on your case and when theres down time no one is there to stress you or haggle you.  The supervisors and management were very cool and chilled, some sucked but most were very supportive of ones decision to innovate and create tools that helped the job. (such as creating scripts, programs/tools, creating and building servers or whatever to get the job done.).  Some days tickets will come in alot others not much and you can chill. hardly any stress at this job but sometimes some managers sucked- they didn't elaborate much on how to get the job done, some where smart A's and didn't give much direction.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Not much OT.   Rarely leave after 4:30pm

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Little to no leadership by people in 'Leadership' positions.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Work environment is a little strange, as it follows a lot of the Japanese culture type working environments.   Ex. Most people work in open spaces.   No cubicles and little to no offices.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
I usually get in at 8ish, answer a few emails, knock out a few reports.   Since my boss sits 3 feet away, we usually converse about what needs to get done that day.  Not much goofing off, as, again, my boss sits 3 feet away.   I usually don't leave at lunch since we are located in a .....let me put it nicely.....not so great part of town.  My day usually goes by fast because we are quite busy.  All in all, not a bad gig to have.

I was with the Sharp for over 30 years. Three major divisions.
The computer room was very instance work. There would be four
of us on night shift. Back then we would take down the computers and all the work during the day would be up dated. When there was a failed job then things would be stressful. The system had to be up 7:20 AM EST. We were in charge of the entire country.
   I had many enjoyable experiences at Sharp. In customer service I would try to make dealers appreciate our work by supplying them with parts for there company.      
Again working night shift I would see a lot of management work very late. I never new they put in that much time.
    I worked for the Japanese for many years. The one thing they require is to be at work on time. They would promote you because of your hard work and dedication to the company.

I arrived a young person and grew into a woman with this company.
I made many life long friends and learned so much about corporate life,business and people.  When the company was young there were many after work activities; bowling, softball, and basketball, family days and company picnics.  The company was very family orientated.
You worked hard, gave your all and at the end of the day you were a family.  I worked under several talented people and learned a great deal from each.  Everyone pulled as a team.  Shared information, short cuts and personal work skills. The hardest part was moving up not only was there not always room for growth in many areas,  but it was hard to leave a group, since bonds were made, but it was easy to enter another, since it was a family everyone was so welcoming.

At Sharp Electronics, we were supported by management to help deploy equipment and service contracts to customer satisfaction, which incrased loyalty.
I was encouraged to develop a personal management style that fit within the Sharp Imaging brand and was able to build customer relationships managing my internal and external team with focus on customer needs.
My team was dynamic, productive and award winners.
I unfortunately had to leave the company due to family illness, otherwise would have remained with the company to continue a career growth.
