The cons include poor upper management, very poor middle management. One gets penalized for being smart at this company, because most entry level workers do not want to work hard (or not bright enough), so the more experience/education you have, the more work load you will get...without any recognition or wage increase. Also, the only way management knows, is to motivate people by negative reinforcement. This, as well as other poor choices, makes Watkins a place where one has no benefit or desire to work hard in his job; because working hard just gives a person more busy work/duties for NO gains.
