Stories of our employees
MARTIN
Technology department manager
„I have been working at SMS InfoComm since the very beginning of the company, ie since 2007. I joined a start-up, small company as a process engineer, whose task was to prepare technological procedures for repairing computer motherboards. As the company grew over the years, more colleagues came. Currently, as a manager, I lead the technology department with 18 colleagues, with whom we deal not only with the preparation of technological procedures but also with the implementation of new improvements so that other colleagues can work better. I especially enjoy working with SMS for its diversity, creativity and the opportunity to meet the latest types of device during repairs. Furthermore at the company I appreciate the possibility of career growth, the stability of the company and the field of activity - computer repairs. In this way we contribute to the protection of our planet.”
GANTUYA
Service center testing operator
„Before I joined SMS, I worked as a seamstress and it never occurred to me that I would enjoy working with computers. I was even a little scared at first, because the work seemed very technically demanding. But I have a great team of colleagues who are professionals and have willingly taught me everything. I value diversity at my job the most, I learn something new every day, I like one-shift operation and a great team spirit.”
JAROSLAV
Service center supervisor
„I joined SMS in February 2012 as an operator in a department that was repairing LCD panels at the time. Since childhood I was interested in electronics and its repair, so after graduation it was a clear path for me - to stay in the electrical field. At that time there were not so many places in Brno where I could find a job, so when I met a job offer at SMS (at that time we were still called Wistron), I did not think long. The original plan was to stay a few months until I found something better, but very soon I started working as a Technician and a few months turned into years. I like challenges and the responsibility I have for meeting them, and that led me to my current position as a Supervisor. I am responsible for ensuring my departmental goals are met and optimizing the processes associated with them. I enjoy and find this job fulfilling. SMS is a stable company with a great team of people.”
MARTA
Warehouse team leader
„I joined the company in 2012. Thanks to exceptional and capable colleagues, I quickly found out that my choice was the right one. Soon after joining, I was given the opportunity to use my potential and lead my own team. I have a job that fulfills me and moves me forward. If you are positive and ready to develop, you can handle a lot. SMS is a company worth knowing.”
ROMANA
Team leader of buyers
„„What are you doing?” „I work as a buyer in Slatina for a multinational company that services electronics motherboards and buys everything a large company needs to run - from pens to cardboard boxes to expensive production equipment.”
But from the beginning...
It was March of 2012 when I started my first part-time job while attending college, working in the HR department of what was then still Wistron's service center. The work while studying was challenging, but I was getting more and more interested in people, their life stories and the huge desire to help them navigate the documents of the working world. It was a pleasure, as a member of the HR team, to experience the transformation of the company into an independent service unit of SMS InfoComm (Czech), to be part of successful projects, to help with plant moves and to solve everyday problems that drive us to better performance. But that is ancient history that few people in the company remember. After a couple of years, an opportunity presented itself to "move" into a completely different job - from barking employees to seemingly speechless material, as a buyer. Everything was new - collaborating with colleagues across the company, the quantum of information about the products we buy related to our industry, communicating with suppliers, negotiating prices, ensuring that the necessary equipment was delivered on time... Sometimes it's more of a challenge than you can imagine, but thanks to great colleagues, their expertise and friendliness, as well as the stability of the company and years of experience, you will soon see why you want to be part of this colossus and look forward to new projects.”
EVA
The planner, awarded for outstanding performance in September 2019, Employee of the Year 2022 and 2023
„I originally applied for the position of planner because I was looking for a job in which I would use Excel and English. I have been working in SMS since 2018 and I use both on a daily basis, although at the beginning it was difficult for me to understand colleagues with a Chinese accent. I appreciate our great team in my work where we all help each other and especially my leader, who supports me in further development. Thanks to him I also had the opportunity to learn and use Power Query and Power BI in practice and I hope that I will soon penetrate the secrets of automation.”
