Avis des employés pour John Deere - Nisku, AB

Was great till they decided to let 200 staff go out of the blue. Had to continue to work for 2 months after they told us we would be closing in order to get severance.

Toxic, High Mac and Manipulative (dark triad of personalities)

Manager of Safety, Envronment, Training, Business Continuity, Health (Ancien employé) - Reman Nisku - 29 août 2022

Management overloads employees, throws people under the bus on a regular basis. Less time should be spent on gaslighting and phony appreciation events, and more support for daily operations.

Fun place but not appreciated by management

Paint and Package (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 21 octobre 2021

People were fun and you were allowed to goof around quite a bit to make the day more enjoyable. Pay and benefits were average. Overtime was occasionally offered but never mandatory which was nice.

Points positifs

Hours, optional overtime, easy, relaxed job

Points négatifs

Management, cheap company

Great coworkers

Industrial Painter (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 16 septembre 2021

My coworkers became like family. In the 9.5 years I worked there I enjoyed going to work. I enjoyed my job doing the various tasks in the paint and package department. I would still be there if the factory wasn’t closed and operations consolidated at another location. The only thing I felt was lacking is the communication from management to production level staff.

Points positifs

Great benefits

Points négatifs

Communication from management

low pressure easy work

shop mechanic (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 20 juin 2021

It is a nice place to work with low expectation. No fault policy where you are expected to work at your own ability level. Lots of employee and management politics. HR runs the shop at times. If you focus on the work in from of you and ignore what everyone else is doing the job is ok.

Points positifs

Benefits are the best I have ever had.

Points négatifs

Job ended as plant shut down.

Not a good place . They hang a carrott for years to get a apprenticeship

Tec at john deere (Employé actuel) - Nisku, AB - 27 mars 2020

Doesn't pay enough. Takes some time to earn a quality holiday. Takes for ever to get apprenticeship. Some years they don't even offer one. Then when they do it's only one for the year. Not what they protect about the best company to work for. Far from that.

Not good

Shop Hand (Employé actuel) - Nisku, AB - 12 mars 2020

Hard place to work, coworkers are great but the management sucks. They don’t take into consideration that we are human and have lives outside of work. They expect us not to get sick and harp on us if we do.

Management was excellent; the work culture on floor was poor

good hours, decent pay

Points négatifs

poor management, no advancement, no consequences for bad behavior

productive and easy going workplace

Heavy Duty Technician (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 9 décembre 2019

I knew what the goals were every week and how to go about getting the job done. Everything was laid out for you to figure out, maybe a step above assembling ikea furniture but not quite rebuilding an engine on your own.Alot of folks there with alot of years served so that tells you the culture and overall environment would support a career in the field.Not the greatest wages but you can live and the job will survive through albertan economic woes with oil.

Very productive fun workplace

Support Technician (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 21 juillet 2019

Amazing place to work for, I worked 2-10 Monday - Thursday. I got pregnant with my first child and decided to move back home. John Deere is a highly regarded company with very high corporate morals and a culture of always doing what is right for the customer and for their employees. They do set the bar high for performance and field managers often are required to work well beyond the typical 8 hour work day, so work life balance tends to suffer. It is a difficult company to advance within unless you are prepared to relocate and have an MBA, however the company will pay to get one for employees that are willing to take the challenge. Sr. Management positions in Canada often go to US employees on a ex-pat program. Salaries at John Deere are fair and merit increases are based on a combination of employee and company performance. While Sr. Management opportunities are rare, lateral job change opportunities at the mid manager level are abundant for employees who are willing to relocate and/or change their current job function. Employee morale within the office environment tends to be higher than for home based field managers due to the imbalance in home-work life for field people.

Points positifs

Fair wages

Points négatifs

Long hours

Great for HD Mechanical work experience

Heavy Duty Support Technician (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 5 mai 2017

Very clean facility with some of the best safety procedures between the other trades jobs I have worked. Benefits are really good. Downside is they only apprentice a couple people a year out of hundreds of employees so chances of getting a certificate are slim

Points positifs

Good benefits, clean job considering it's a trades job

Points négatifs

Slow to no career advancement

Great experience

MACHINIST (Ancien employé) - Nisku, AB - 28 mars 2017

A great place to work and close to home also.

Support Tech Lead Hand (Employé actuel) - Nisku, AB - 27 février 2016

A typical day involves a lot of problem solving of minor issues and a lot of workplace organization for about 30 employees. I have learned that working in a global company is very different in the aspect of creating change. It takes a long time and requires lots of follow up. The management team here is top notch with a lot of experience. My direct supervisor is one of the best I have ever worked for. The hardest part of my job is dealing with product that comes into the system which is incorrectly identified and we have to research it to correctly identify so it goes through the process correctly.

Points positifs

Direct supervisor, commute to work (7 minutes)

Points négatifs

limits on hours worked so extra work for overtime is limited.
