Pros
The supportive environment of people who are there to genuinely support students to reach their fullest potential, their dreams, and academic and life endeavors.
Cons
Student Leaders are students first & foremost and do a lot of work for the whole student community! Much-needed diversity, community, and inclusion training for all student leader positions. Must firmly advocate for yourself esp. if you are treated unfairly or have an issue with your department team--find your allies and friends to support you. Beware of faculty power imbalances, especially leadership who power trip... know one former director who was a major bully and made student workers feel disposable due to a personal projection of how they were treated by former bosses. FYI, the workplace isn't The Devil Wears Prada. IYKYK
