Denso Manufacturing Employer Reviews

Supervisor starts out by asking why all the daily projects are not complete in the first hour of the day. Forget about checking for hot issues on email from previous shifts. That just get condescending remarks. Most the time that you should know that the emails state before reading them. So, go to the production line and communicate with the production – more... management, trouble shooters, team leaders. This only irritates your management more, with more condescending remarks. Seems the American management feels the need to impress the japanese by being very difficult to work with. My time there I documented millions of dollars of waste just so some managers didn't look bad for not taking care of issues years before.
Only very few co workers were trustworthy to follow procedures. Most considered quality the least of the worry. Getting as many productions numbers as possible, any way possible was the status quo. If anyone went against the status quo, they were quickly redirectd to other projects.
Hardest part of the job was watching bad product get shipped with no management caring. Constant sort/reworks which were only partially effective. Some had to be done several times and still shipped bad parts. Management always finding ways to decrease benefits.
Money was ok. Leaving was the best part. – less

show up to work at 5 am get our daily assements go to our mechince that we had to work at for that day. Management was not that great, I thought that they were lazy at manging the team. my co-workers were great to be around helpful, postive. the hardest part of the job was the 10 hours aday on yuour feet in a hot factory. the most enjoyable part of – more... trhe day was leaving that place. – less

Typical 3 shift arrangement with opportunities for daily and weekend overtime. Shift meetings at the beginning and end of shifts to transfer necessary information to the oncoming crew. Typical day spent answering machine down calls, or in absence of down machines, perform any available preventative maintenance.

The hours were long,but it was good.The people were nice to me. I really learned alot

fast paced work
supervisor on the floor in each cell
most enjoyable part of the job was once the orders where filled got to go home early 2-4 hrs

Worked in a team environment to insure the quality of our product in a timely manner. Friendly and helpful coworkers.

I have worked at Denso for two years. I have been a 'hired in" associate for over a year. Staying at Denso is the biggest mistake I have ever made. I was treated horribly as a temporary. (which they all are) The area I work in is NOTORIOUS for training temps on one or two stations and keeping them at those stations day in and day out.. Until they either – more... quit or get hired. I was at the same station for 3 months straight.I literally BEGGED to be trained somewhere else, then eventually, had my employment agency transfer me to another department. Getting hired into Denso means completely kissing your life GOODBYE. New hires are forced to stay on 2nd shift for up to 7 years. The overtime makes it IMPOSSIBLE to do much of anything else. (Ive dropped out of school twice). You can count on 10-12 hour days during the week and usually at least two weekends a month, (usually more.) You can also count on NEVER being told what you will be working until you actually work it. Denso is very VAGUE on all answers to any questions. In fact, they haven't updated their employee handbook since 2007! But they have changed multiple policies since then. They claim it is available on the company website, but it is not. They recently lowered their new starting wage rate to 13$ an hour. That was really the ONLY good thing Denso had going for them, was the pay. There is NO WAY I would stay at this company for 13$. The working conditions are dirty and completely miserable, especially in the summer. People passing out from heat exhaustion is a Daily thing in July-August. Management is a joke. Promotions are not given equally, and often times, people with no experience are promoted and turn out to be worthless team and sub leaders. Management is also not held accountable for treating their employees with respect and acting professional. They also now require that you use 5 of your 10 vacation days (new hires receive 10, veterans of denso receive more) during their July shutdown periods. BUT, you cant plan ahead with those because as usual, the answers of what and when each line is shutting down is of course VAGUE. 5 vacation days will not go far with all the overtime you are REQUIRED to work. I hope anyone considering a job here thinks about this post and asks more questions. I wish I knew what I was in for at this company. I have been looking for a new job for months (fingers crossed) . If you are willing to have no life at all and love overtime this is the place for you. If you have dreams or goals of doing ANYTHING ELSE with your life then please do yourself a favor and STAY AWAY FROM DENSO!!! – less

I learned team building, quality circles, stocking shelfs, and ordering parts.Math skills, an it also payed for my house and cars . All payed off very great full. The hardest part is to much over time no time at home with family. enjoyable part is the people you meet become good friends.

I work 7 days a week. I have management who have never been in production before and no concept of our process. I am thankful for a job and 7 days is better than 3 and 4 but it sure gets old. The managers tell people in interviews that there is some overtime and then they get out on the floor and find out to the truth. If you interview be sure to find – more... out if someone works in the area you interview for and know the truth – less

Very fast paced, I have learned all the different defects of the evaporators. My team leader is very knowledgeable of the area. My co-workers were very helpful as I was learning the machines. I like running production however I think with all the management skills and experience I have my talents are being wasted. I really enjoy the people I work with.

Denso to me is a very professional place to work. 8 like how there is a lot of room and oppurtunity for advancement. I work side by side with my management and I like how even one person has chances to make a differance out there and really secure your place at DENSO if you really want to.

Great place to work before economy fell. Automotive sales good then job good.Automotive sales bad then job bad

Interesting worked. Loved the job, challenging. pay scale was above average.

People nice and commuincation and caring of others. Enjoyed the quality of work that was proformed and expected of each empolyee.

The job was terrific, the internship could have lead to a job if I wouldn't have moved back to Georgia after graduation.

Some of my co-workers were good, others were not. Management was a joke and never followed regulations. Nothing was enjoyable about the job other than the paycheck. A typical day at work, you expected ten hours and something to break down. Management enforced speed over safety and quality.

supervisors follow you the restroom. Last year associates suffered because all available fans where put on the machines to keep them cool, and raises are not guaranteed.

I liked my job. It was fast paced and I got to help other departments after we met our deadline. I learned how to solder parts and repair them. I learned how important an inspectors job is in the manufacturing field.

Great place to work for new engineers, advancement opportunities exist but expect 8-10 yrs before getting into management.

Flexible schedule is a plus

Automotive company so frequent shifts in business conditions but overall stable employment

A typical for me at work is producing high quality parts with efficiency, I've learned how to operate machinery such as injection molding machines and overhead cranes as well as robotics. My co-workers were outstanding, they would listen instead of argue with me and that made the day go by easier, I would have to say the hardest part of the day would – more... be at the end of the shift because there was alot of cleaning that had to be done and machines to get shut down and to do tpm's on the machines. My most enjoyable part of the day is troubleshooting machines because I like to fix problems. – less
