Pros
Great environment to work in
Cons
They relocated to Drake Colorado
- Former Employee, less than 1 year★★★★★
Pros
Excellent benefits package. The company will do positive things on occasion for employees (free virus shots, etc.).
Cons
Work pace is chaotic and reactive in multiple areas. Customer service is drowning in work with too few people and no real training for people coming in. There are knowledgeable people, but, overwhelmed with work to truly share and impart that knowledge.

Pros
-Excellent work experience -Paying your interns is always nice -Flexible work hours during the school year
Cons
Work limited if you're not seeking it out It may have just been the way my manager was, but I really had to go out of my way to make sure I was getting enough work to be working for all the hours I was there. When I did do this though, I got to work on plenty of interesting things and kept busy.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Pay, company culture, benefits, great place to work
Cons
Currently undergoing a lot of salary compression. Senior Members getting paid similarly to starting Members. There is not much of an incentive to stay for a long time.

Pros
They’re awesome people to work with
Cons
Sometimes can be mentally draining
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
[WOODWARD HRT] Interesting and advanced products, both new and legacy, some critical to infrastructure. Some implementation of LEAN principles. Great introduction to traceability/regulatory principles and manufacturing concepts. Significant training was provided and generous tuition reimbursement was available. Generous benefits were also available. Some managers/leaders were superior.
Cons
[WOODWARD HRT] It seemed that opportunities to invest in the manufacturing plant required to catch-up on customer backlog were not pursued; reasons unknown.

Pros
Woodward has very flexible hours for interns, the managers and people there are all eager to help you succeed, and the amount you learn is unmatched.
Cons
Pay is good, not great, no 401k match, no PTO even for company holidays (they take a week off during the holiday season that us interns simply just could not work or get paid for)
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Most people here are very friendly and will go out of their way to help you solve problems. Teamwork is emphasized and for the most part you can rely on just about anyone to help you out or help you find someone to talk to when problems arise. On the job training for almost any process that your team lead needs support for means you'll be learning a lot of different and interesting skills with lots of opportunities to shine in a task. The pay is great for an entry level job in the Loves Park area. Benefits are decent as well.
Cons
Like any factory job, the shifts can be long and you'll be handling the same thing day in and day out, most new hires are on second shift and you won't see the sun much for a couple years. There's an internal culture clash between old ways and new ways and operations technicians frequently get caught in the middle of this between middle and upper management, engineers, and their own department members. You may have to make judgement calls that are 'above your paygrade' in order to not stick out to much or step on someone's toes.
- Current Employee★★★★★
Pros
Culture of collaboration, Opportunities, Benefits
Cons
I do not feel there are cons
- Current Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
Pros
Lots of opportunity, big employer in Fort Collins
Cons
Sometimes we have more work than we have people
