Pros
Working with the student leaders and fellow project coordinators is a much more positive, uplifting experience. This may be a decent option for folks looking for an in-between role and is willing to be proactive, patient, and open to learning.
Cons
The main cons comes from being under the CPO Department itself: Disorganized management, lack of supervisory support from the department for both student staff and project coordinators, favoritism towards non-project staff, and delayed responses from departmental full-time staff (other than Business Officer). Besides the cons with the department, other general cons are: - Lack of ability to move up career-wise unless you plan on staying in Student Affairs -Inability to negotiate salary/raises even with a Master's Degree & higher + more experience
