Pros

-opportunity to travel -opportunity to get masters or doctorate degree, paid for or a portion paid for by university -opportunities to grow in leadership without getting paid like leadership, build the skills and add it to your resume

Cons

-organizational structure is lacking, many people in positions of authority that do not know how to strategically plan and oversee others -no tier plan in place for salary increases and no opportunities to move up into a different position to get paid more unless you are favored by higher administration and work very very hard -slow ordering/processing/receiving system for supplies needed for work -toxic standards for performance(ex: no real set of guidelines for performance and monitored/evaluated on non-existent standards) -overall unorganized...no matter what department you work in -some leaders in extension have no understanding of extension and those who do use it to benefit themselves or state counterparts -last minute events, communication, and reports are frequent(ex: the day that an important report is due, upper administration will ask for a full report before EOD ) -unequitable salaries -no transparency from administration in previous years but they are working on transparency
