Pros

Very much like a family. Workers call each other members, which is a little odd. However; there is deep caring for each other below the Director Level.

Cons

Director Level and above have no credibility with the employees. Antiquated culture, male dominated. Now company policy is to keep everyone quiet and in their place. Managers are to give employees yellow or red cards if cubes are messy, plants are too big or there is something stuck to the cube wall glass. It is 1950 all over again.

Pros

Good company, went through some tough times with the transition of MPC being bought by Woodward. Very good benefits

Cons

Terrible raises. Negotiate a good salary coming in, expect to only get a 2% raise every year. Hard work is not appreciated here. The difference between a hard worker and someone that just does enough to get by is about 2.3% compared to 2%. Morale is not very high because of this. It fosters an environment for a bunch of people to just come to work and do the bare minimum. Your happiness will depend on your manager. There are some great leaders and some terrible ones that should not be in charge of anyone.

Pros

Benefits which include wonderful health insurance, dental,vision, hearing,401K match,pension,bonus plan.

Cons

Bonus plan is basically unreachable. They say "One Woodward" all members are equal but yet upper mangement bonuses are ridiculous high compared to to members who produce the parts. Favoritism really shows.
