Enjoyable work with alot of travel.
Tri-Cities area Field Service MGR (Former Employee), Blountville, TN – January 23, 2013
I strongly enjoyed the daily variety of work offered by Sharp Electronics. I also enjoyed being able to take on as many orders as I could fill in a day. I however did not always enjoy some of the locations I had to travel to because of very long drives, sometimes several times a day. I did enjoy being able to oversee several employees projects as the – more... challenge of helping others meet their goals provided me with unlimited chances to become a better supervisor. – less

Corporate boot camp training at Sharp Electronics
Service Administrator (Former Employee), Arlington, VA – January 18, 2013
Pros: sharp provides excellent time off and benefits, and monthly employee luncheons that celebrate employee recognition.
Cons: there was a lot of mis-communication amongst managers, employees, and clients. there wasn't any room for navigation within the organization for all employees, due to the constant downsize.
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 – more... 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. – less

Great company to work for, gained a great deal of experience in a highly productive enviornment
Product Director, Digital Printers (Former Employee), Mahwah, NJ – December 7, 2012
Pros: ability to exercise decision making, as trust was built with management.
Cons: inventory was short lived, product was changed too frequently for customer loyalty to expand.
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 – more... 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. – less

The – more... most enjoyable part of my job is helping my sales professionals achieve their goals. – less

I was put in charge of trainings, selling, and even some management responsibilities. the only draw back was that i worked weekends. the hardest part of the job was that i only got to sell sharp tvs but was always asked about others.

Poor management
admin (Former Employee), sbs – July 29, 2012
Cons: no advancement and low pay
No chance of promotion, management has its favorites! Management will pick individuals with little time on the job for future management positions verses someone that has been their for years. Bonus program is a joke! Management is clueless when comes to employee needs. Please do not apply for this job because you will be under appreciated, well underpaid – more... and no chance for promotion. It's a thankless job by it's managers and clients. – less

Pros: great food
Cons: no cons
It was a great place to work with co-workers. Getting all the data base was very important to me. This was a temp to perm job, but then sales fell in 2009 so they had to let temps go.

A nice place to work with high customer service expectatations.
CUSTOMER ADVISOR (Former Employee), Romeoville, IL – July 17, 2012
A typical work day with Sharp is a high level stress environment. The customer advisor position delivers a high level of customer satisfaction. I obtained the ability to multitask at a much higher degree in customer service work atmosphere.

The team work was the most enjoyable part of the job.

The hardest part would be working the late shift.

fun workplace
Temp (Former Employee), Romeoville, Il – June 25, 2012
Pros: good environment to work in, light job, no pressure
Cons: sometimes there was no work so we had to clean small parts
there wasnt anything hard or bad about the job unless if there was no work because then they make you clean very small cell phone plastic parts but other than that you are seated and working at your own pace without having anyone pressuring, hurrying, or yelling at you

Sharp Electronics has great products.
National Accounts Manager (Former Employee), DFW Airport, TX – June 18, 2012
Pros: travel and support
Cons: long hours to get it all done
Started early and stayed late. Traveled a good deal. Management knew what they were doing as did the co-workers. Getting product to the end user on time was not in my controll but i was on the firing line. Best part was being able to take care of my families needs.
