ever since covid started, the management has taken a downturn. there is absolutely zero consideration for employees unless you are buddies and friends with higher management or you simply put your head down like a sheep and do as your told, whatever that may involve. 

as soon as you point something out you are frowned upon and treated worse than dogs. the level of mental stress you receive after that is almost unbearable. the company will do its utmost to shut you down or discredit you until you eventually leave on your own or be the next one to get laid off. humans rights are basically a joke for this company, only the ones that cause any benefit are the ones that are allowed or talked about. favouritism is off the charts here. dont expect to get any advancement based on your skills, as it doesnt matter what you know, rather who you know. 

HR is another joke in the company, which basically works for management rather than for the employees but will make it seem like they really care about you. you get disciplined for the most petty of reasons its not even funny. i would steer clear of this company unless management changes for the better like a complete overhaul of dishonest people.

It's not a bad place to work.  I have learned a lot, and I really enjoy the tasks that I do.  I must admit, I do have some frustrations though.  My current shift does not work well for me, and there is no option to switch me over to a more feasible shift that will greatly improve my work/life balance.  Personally, any type of interaction that I have ever had with anyone from management have all been positive, however, people from the shop floor with catch a tail end of a conversation, begin to spread rumours and it creates bad energy on the shop floor.

Although I only worked at ODG over my summer break from school, I learned a lot and made a decent amount of money. Although I was frequently moved throughout the plant to complete different tasks, I was most commonly operating a deburring machine. Management was helpful and understanding. Workplace culture was a little rough, but that's to be expected when you put a young girl to work among mid-aged men. The hardest part of the job was working in spite of the workplace culture, the most enjoyable part was helping create beautiful parts that I knew management would be proud of.

Formerly a good company culture Supervisors and lead hands are great, they compensate for the other  ....but 
new  management has sent morale plummeting drastically .  
 Tunnel vision on their part . 
Employee retention is terrible , and the big cheeses can’t seem to figure out why . 
Wage is way below industry standard with no promise of  raises that are long overdue . 
Basically it’s : work longer, harder , faster and better,  but expect nothing in return .
Benefit package is a plus though!

Most Co workers were great. Some opportunities for overtime.  Can not confide in all lead hands with trust: Human resource people lie to you and at times do not know their job. They are there for the company not rights of workers.. Will take sides of a liar continuously  not sure why. Work environment  is not that bad..just have to how and who you talk to.

Still some amazing people still there, but new management ignores concerns and is running the company under. Really sad almost seems intentional. Any improvement suggestions were ignored. They keep hiring more and more directors

Business model is sound, but many changes in management due to last president's poor decisions have created difficult environment. Wages have stagnated, workforce skill level is not growing and machines need upgrade.

Male chauvinism.
Low promotion rates for women in the workplace.
Favouritism.
Hard nosed attitude by all management, only worried about their salaries. 
My hard work definitely did not pay off after 20 years

Ontario Drive & Gear Ltd. is a fun place to work with many ways to grow within the company. 
 
However. if your looking for a professional place to work where serious matters should be handled as such keep looking.
