Personal Experiences








„I feel like I'm in the right place here."


I successfully completed my training as an industrial clerk at Smithers-Oasis. I now work in Sales Support, assisting my colleagues with the creation of reports, statistics, and sales-promoting activities. My responsibilities also include maintaining customer data, planning field service meetings, and organizing complaint management. What I find particularly exciting is that these tasks allow me to stay close to our customers and view processes from different perspectives. The working atmosphere is fantastic – I can always rely on my colleagues.

„I can proudly say that I have fully achieved self-fulfillment in my professional life.."


I have been working at Smithers-Oasis since 2010. I was initially hired as a canteen employee, where I was able to gather my first impressions of the company. A good working atmosphere, job security, and opportunities for advancement motivated me to continue developing my career within the company. In 2019, I joined the team as a production assistant. Smithers-Oasis is a social enterprise that prioritizes the health and retirement provisions of its individual employees. Among other things, the company offers excellent training and career advancement opportunities, which I have also taken advantage of. I have been a team leader since 2021 and look forward to new challenges every day. I can proudly say that I have fully achieved self-fulfillment in my professional life and continue to strive toward this goal. I am happy to be part of Smithers-Oasis.
