Hyundai Auto Canada Reviews

Pros

Excellent Team Forward progressing Company Caring Management

Cons

Nothing comes to mind. They are doing excellent

Pros

I joined the company in October 2011 and have watched our corporate culture transform over the past almost 8 years. Hyundai Auto Canada is now one of the most modern and progressive automotive OEMs in Canada. We have flex hours, summer hours, department team building days, core values appreciation week, a very strong benefits package, plenty of training opportunities, RESP matching, and the list goes on. Plus, the company does a great job celebrating every achievement, and our HR department goes above and beyond to create engagement every chance they get. All of this contributes to a very positive work environment that drives motivation, employee satisfaction, and of course high performance.

Cons

No cons at this time.

Pros

Benefits are outstanding. Good place to enter the automotive OEM world.

Cons

There is a pecking order - don't fall out of line. Turnover is high due to the organization firing people at will. It would seem the rules don't apply to them and loyal employees aren't important. They talk about transparency but are far from it. They celebrate years of employment but fire too many people before they make it to a milestone.

Pros

-Experienced management team -Strong camraderie, even with your bosses/managers. Support staff (IT, admin etc) are great, eager to help, get things done right away -Company car, benefits, RRSP are generous -Strong "promote from within" culture -Ability to work on cool projects/high-value tasks from Day 1, even as a junior employee -HR seems to care about career development, employee morale -The whole org is filled with smart, dedicated people. Very little back-biting/politics compared to most places (at the lower/mid-levels at least)

Cons

-Salary isn't the greatest compared to the industry - but having worked at other OEMs that pay much better, I'd take the culture/fringe benefits of HACC over the extra money -With that said, they are stingy with bonuses -Commute on the 404 is not fun Understand that this is the Korean's ship and you're just the grunt, carrying out orders. They can make strategic decisions that can be frustrating, but when viewed through the lens of Korean culture/norms, it all makes sense. Your job is to "hit the numbers" (whatever that may be), without thought of long-term repercussions. This is anathema to current Western management practices, but that's how they do things in Seoul... I highly recommend you learn about their society, customers and cultural practices. If you can gently show that you have some understanding of their ways, they will see you as a trusted colleague rather than an incompetent Westerner.
