Business Outlook

Pros

Immediate enrollment into union – PCC FFAP. Large enough to thrive (offerings/enrollment). Large bureaucracy allows you to punt undesired elements above your pay grade. High degree of academic freedom.

Cons

They break everything every year to find things to fix. Massive bureaucracy, and you can remain invisible for years. Low degree of agency or impact on the organization.
