DENSO Employee Review

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

I’ve been employed with Denso 1.5 years and have enjoyed my time there. Work is not heavy but constant and monotonous but you are well paid. Benefits are great.

Pros

Good pay and benefits

Shift work

It's alright

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

Coworkers are usually easy to get along with, good benefits, good pay for easy work.

Associate (Former Employee) - Guelph, ON - 12 September 2023

Denso as a company gives great benefits, great incentives and great programs/events. Company offers full uniform, there’s a cafeteria, lounge area as well. Lots of pros when it comes to working for this company, most of the people who work there are very nice, fun to get along with, outgoing and smart but as there is pros, there’s almost as many cons. It’s not a clean facility, garbage everywhere outside, and inside (people do not clean up after themselves well, but alas that’s more an individual problem than a company issue), the air quality is poor and should be looked at yearly with the HVAC system they have in place (also should be updated). Employees had to fight for heat breaks in 40 degree weather, another con is you will also be made fun of my fellow coworkers or management, yelled at, blackmailed, etc. Coworkers constantly are fighting with each other, all of upper management shows favouritism as well and it is clear as day who receives it. One last con that I will touch on that’s extremely important, HR does NOT do their job when it comes to harassment. They treat both parties like children and gives insufficient solutions to the problems. Some specific men will talk very inappropriately to you, touch you, cat call you, follow you home, etc and HR does nothing about it. Many people who are repeat offenders have a secure job at this place, so beware.
