Company betrays it’s experienced workers - Automation Technician Woodward Employee Review

3+ years of staying late to work blue folder jobs, going above and beyond, volunteering to do overtime and coming in on off days, for what? Company does not reward its motivated and hard working employees. Doing the bare minimum ‘button pushers’ make exactly the same as people going above and beyond to outperform. The raises are exactly the same for the worst and best employees. HR is highly incompetent and you won’t be able to get any help from them or hear from them unless you’re in trouble. Company also pays below industry averages. I quit before the layoffs because my boss had lied to me about getting me a significant raise for taking a job in a specialized position of which I was the only trained member, and instead after waiting a whole year opted to pay me the same as button pushers. Another boss before him (still within Woodward) frequently yelled at employees and generally treated us poorly. Went from making 20 with Woodward to 34 at my new position at another company doing similar work! Would recommend their competitors instead.
