Pros

I was thoroughly challenged during my time at Woodward, and I feel I was able to grow my career substantially in a very short period. Pay on an annual basis was decent for the region , and the benefits package was also very good. The potential is there for this to be a great company to work for.

Cons

Absolutely no training or on-boarding opportunities. Very stressful to get acquainted here. I felt as if the company viewed me strictly as a resource rather than a valued employee. Bonus structure here was very poor, and the pay was not great when you consider how many hours you had to put in just to barely stay afloat. Turnover in my department was very high.

Pros

It was at the time a good alternative to working for my employer that was going through bankruptcy...

Cons

Concur with the assertion that management has adopted the "kiss up", "excrement down" philosophy to keep themselves in good standing with their masters. HR is about as big a waste of money that Woodward could be spending money on. After months of trying to tap into them as a way to mitigate the total lack of ethics of my management, they actually were surprised that I was leaving!
