Very clean factory with amazing associates. Everybody is very helpful. Team leades & Sub leaders are working 50-60hrs/wk mandatory most lines.The company use to be alot better to its associates then they are today.(ie bbqs,picnics,golf tournament, christmas parties, &lots of free clothes n food. Had alot of fun and made a few good friends. And the cafeteria has good hot food! (Well pre covid)I would recommend Denso to any young person looking to make good money or a student hire for summer.

It’s a factory with all characters

Production Associate (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 30 March 2023

Good company that takes care of its associates , but the rotating shifts take a toll on the body overtime. The workers are straight up hardworking and some new comers that are not aligned with good work ethic will not last.

Assembly Line Worker (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 9 February 2023

Job is fine. Very repetitive and boring once you get used to your stations but at least with the department I am in I cannot complain. My team leaders are supportive and I don't feel all that stressed on the job

Waste of time

Production Associate (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 19 January 2023

Don't go there. You are not a human for them. especially HVAC line. All the HVAC workers have Spine Scoliosis problem. No respect for people. If you're friend of leaders you'll get a easy job otherwise good luck.

Forklift Operator/Material Handler - Permanent

Repetitive and busy.

Assembly Line Worker (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 2 December 2022

The work is very repetitive and boring. Once you are at top rate pay is ok. Company benefits are really good. Most of the sub leaders have an attitude problem and think they are gods gift to Denso. They also have really poor people skills.

Great environment and staff, and they made us breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and always room for more hours

Production Line Worker (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 27 May 2022

Start 6am with team leaders and co workers. a run down of the day. go to your station and make sure all stocke,. 4 diffrent rotations on stations between breaks we would switch. Lots of room to grow in the company lots to learn , worked with screws, power tools, packing, lifting and testing units for ford hvac

Pros

Rotation so it’s not super repetitive and Friday was all OT because Monday-Thursday was 40h, we also worked fridays, plus weekly pay

Cons

Shift rotations every 2 weeks, we would switch from6am-4pm, and 4pm-2:30am, but I actually enjoyed afternoon shift and also enjoyed getting off at 4pm in the afternoon on days

Good people, lots of opportunities for growth

Production Associate (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 2 February 2022

Good job to gain work life experience. If you are patient, opportunities to grow your career are there. Sometimes with the way the world is just now with global shortages, hours can go from (rarely) 5 hours to 10 hours depending on orders.

Pros

Benefits, career growth

Cons

Repetitive work, inconsistent hours

was a great company at one time

Team Member (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 25 November 2021

Was a great company at one time. Really have done well in looking after people in time of crisis(tsunami, pandemic) . They have gotten away from.core values and now see their people as all are.replaceable. The workers are.great, friendly and try to look after one another. Would have stayed but the company is now being steared in the wrong direction. They have lost their ethics and culture that they were once known for.

Pros

team members

Cons

management, mental health, mandatory OT, stress load, indecisiveness

Steady work - worst communication, organization and appreciation

Assembly Line Worker (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 25 June 2021

I used to defend this company to everyone no matter what because in all I thought it was a great company to work for. Sadly, I was wrong. Keep in mind I had next to no major issues until I decided to leave this company because I couldn't advance and wanted a new career.Working their in general is fine if you do not want to advance and are willing to work crazy long hours. But if you are looking to build a career that will require some serious a** kissing and making sure you are managements favorite. Even following their 'road map' you'll have to fight to get the opportunity to complete tasks. You will have no life outside of Denso. If you are single and looking to make decent money, awesome! If you even wish to have any social life or family time you'll miss out. This is not the case in every department but in the main areas you could be working 10-12 hours a day. Add in commute and getting ready etc you're looking at a very long exhausting day. If you try to raise an issue to HR, well they are to busy to truly help you past the surface of getting you out their door. They may even encourage you to take time off then email you with unclear instructions that you've already addressed with them. Now, this isn't their fault as they are under staffed and underworked but my HR rep needed much better communication skills. Email correspondence in abbreviation and one sentence replies was not sufficient regarding larger issues. Depending on who you are trying to contact within the company regarding simple requests you most likely will never hear back from them. I was lucky to get -

Pros

Work is always available, pay is decent, could make a couple work friends.

Cons

Long hours, lack of communication, little support, disorganized, stressful, favoritism

Hard work is overlooked by friendships and personal opinions

Sub Leader (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 19 June 2021

I’ve worked for Denso for almost 10 years and have been in the same position for the last 6. If you are someone who is looking to climb the ladder, it’s all about who you know and brown nosing at this place. Hard work is not acknowledged. No sense in going above and beyond your duties. Unless you have friends in high places, you’re out of luck. If you keep your head down, do what is required of you and don’t aspire to do more, then this could be the place for you.

Pros

Bonuses

Cons

Management

Everyone feels like they are part of a team. You are encouraged to present your ideas and implement them. Excellent communication of goals. The morning warmup routine got me ready to work
