Ushio

There is a strong culture of respect.  I've noticed that no matter which BU I am working with, the same attitude of respect for one another is there.  This is what makes working at Ushio pleasant. 
The leadership is a great team.  A unique aspect of Ushio is that every month the CEO has a town hall virtual meeting and all employees are invited.  In the town halls, the CEO recognizes workplace anniversaries, many of which are people who have made Ushio their lifetime workplace.  He also shares an overview of the company's financial health and any world or local events that may affect business.  In addition, each month there is a focus on a different business unit where employees from that BU share what is going on in their corner of the company.  l have never been in a company that conducted town halls like this or scheduled them monthly.  These unique town halls give Ushio employees, no matter what location they are working from, a greater connection to the company as a whole and a respect for each other's roles and responsibilities.  
Finally, the business is fascinating -- light is fascinating and the future is very bright. 

My day would start at 7:30 am, I would log onto ACT and knock out my daily follows up and manage customers account history. I would then check my daily sales for the previous day and open order reports. I would email customer advising the ETA on open orders and constantly reaching out to customer after running pivot tables and offer specials and find out why we lost some business and do my best to get the business back. I would schedule meetings for my Regional while he was on the road and be the main point of contact. I would give quotes on the daily and special pricing for large bids and check stock levels. I would assist non customer/enduser from the website and help navigate them thru the site and find a distributor to assist them. I would schedule material needed with the material control dept and request transfer from warehouses and rebox. I would also control the consignment accounts and deal with EDI customers. I love the fast paced environment and worked with a great group of people.


A typical day is going through e-mails and replying. Working on reports.  Communicating with the sales team.

Management can be good with the exception of the current manager who seems to lack some communication skills, maybe some management training would help.

The hardest part of the job is receiving last minute requests and not being able to stay longer to complete the requests due to a requirement from management, no staying longer than your shift. 

The enjoyable part is the daily challenges the job gives me, not everyday is the same.

I have been at Ushio for about 2 months now and I can honestly say that it is an amazing company. 

Leadership is outstanding and they always want to support your own growth and development. Personally, I think it's rare to join a company that has a CEO who is very down to earth and allows you to learn in a safe environment. 

On top of great leadership, the people are what makes a company that much more great to work at. Turnover is rare and everyone is just pleasing to work with. If you are looking to settle and find a "family-like" company, Ushio is definitely a good place to be at. 



Ushio is the rare company that possesses some local manufacturing, some distribution, and access to any and every lighting application imaginable.  There are a variety of jobs and connections to every corner of the US and around the world. Flexibility of working hours and locations for many employees has improved.  There is good chemistry and cohesiveness between locations and filled with many positive attitudes.

Great place to work.  CEO walks the talk and created 10 points that leads to true inclusion, equality and diversity.  He even holds training classes to improve the employees and talks to the whole team every month
The company has many products from a few dollars to millions of dollars and works with the leading edge company with leading edge products.
It is a cultural mix of start up speed and solid and mature

Company used to be good place to work and interact, but going through re-organization is too demanding and at times unfair, due to senior execs bias ideas about departments without appreciating the current workforce and emphasizing training and motivation instead of strict cost cutting, across the boards.

A typical day as a CSR would be order entry via fax, email or over the phone. The calls can range from a stock check or a  new opportunity & providing specifications sheets and referring the end user to a distributor.
 As a ISR you will be assisting the Regional Sales Manager in all aspects from orders, pricing and rep groups providing samples . The goal is to exceed last years monthly numbers reviewing products pricing and margins .
