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.

Avoid

Avoid (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 15 August 2023

Avoid this toxic place. If you like long hours and having no personal life outside of work then this is the place to go. It use to be a great company not so much anymore.

Don't work here unless you have to.

Production Associate (Current Employee) - Guelph, ON - 10 July 2023

I have nothing good to say about the place. People are overworked and underpaid, it's chaotic. Avoid here at all costs unless you need a job because they will hire anyone who kills quality and production.

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.

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.

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.
