Sharp Packaging

The only positives of working at Sharp Packaging include decent starting wage and that after 30 days, employees receive 2 weeks PTO and 4 Sick Days and decent insurance coverage.
Sharp’s astringent physicals and trainings are invasive and completely lack privacy.
Sharp Packaging does everything on the cheap! This means that although new employees are offered decent starting wages, these wages do not account for all of the addition required trainings, especially for lower-level and mid-level employees. After additional trainings, employees are expected to take on more and more responsibilities, whether it be material handling duties, document control responsibilities, receiving-centered duties, forklift training, mentoring, etc, with no wage increase to compensate employees once trained on the additional responsibilities.
Like the other reviewer, I am embarrassed to tell people I worked here at all.


This company hires almost exclusively contractors so they can be fired on the spot with no warning. They only gave me 5 days off/year, which ended up being used up in one winter from inclement weather (even if it's freezing rain and snowing hard they expect you to come in.) Management is incompetent and hides from the rest of the team, and the office takes in more orders than they can realistically fill in time, so there's constant mandatory overtime for all shifts. In the end, they fired me for going to see my terminally ill father in the hospital instead of performing mandatory overtime.

Sharp does pharma packaging. They deal with product delivery timelines and quality work is a 100% must-have.  It helps to have packaging experience and low-income expectations. Amazon pays more to its line workers so much of the good talent leaves.

Quite possibly the worst job I've ever. The employees are unprofessional and the supervision is not very good. The equipment is old and prone to malfunction. Overtime on the weekends is pretty much a given, which is fine if you need the money.

Unfortunately, sharp is run by a group of incompetent managers.  they often mislead employees and there is little training to help support Quality / production. Most of the upper level of management sit in their offices or in meetings and are not active supporters of employees - very high turnover rate and little benefits and low pay.

What is the best part of working at the company?
The hours and the pay. The machines are easy to learn too

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The people.. The management seems to have your back and they don’t.. The people you work with don’t help much 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Find out what machine I am on go to the machine make sure the numbers are correct and the trim is taking out.

check to see what room you are in and get prepared to start producing the product for shippment. How to have things run smooth when possible. Easy to get along with. Waiting while the machine is being fixed. Being able to relax with some conversation.

This company does not care at all about the employees. They work every weekend. And Even in holiday weekends with no incentives. Management is a really bad joke. No advancement. No strive to learn more because they next employee will get the same raise or bonus. ( if there is one). 

A very nice company to work, very organize, very clean, managers and supervisors always checking and helping. Leads always  explaining to all workers what they have to do and not, very important work because we handle medications all the time!!

I was in just about every position possible & liked the job. Unfortunatly the position I ended up at was to demanding on my body & needed office work which wasn't available at the time, but it opened many other doors with the training I had received
