Woodward reviews

average wages at best, be prepared to commit a lot of time and energy, but skimp to live off off it. The longer you are employed, you will see a lot of BS advancement of "special people", but probably not you. Too many middle management people who seem to not have actual jobs other than to chat, and possibly troubleshoot YOUR situation. Continuous improvement my behind. Constant supplier issues just to save a buck, causes a backlog, then its mandatory 10's. Have been slowly taking away or modifying anything related to good benefits packages. Kicked all spouses off of health care. Decided that all tobacco users should be charged $110 a month to leave the campus if they don't quit. I guarantee you they will severely modify or eliminate the annual bonus for us un-degreed mouth breathers SOON. Keep the shareholders happy, bend your employees over...

The levels of management have increased significantly in last 6 years, creating greater separation between management and workers. The salaries of managers, especially executives, has risen sharply while salaries for workers have stagnated. Woodward now pays below average for workers but has good bonus plan and great health benefits. Many workers that have left have not been backfilled, creating ever increasing workload on those who remain. Company recently announced closure of electrical manufacturing at the Fort Collins site with plan to move those operations to Poland.
