Pros

You are continuoisly training. The training is useful in managing current and potential future challanges that may abrupt within the department.

Cons

There only consistent thing in working with the juvenile departmeny is the inconsistency. One moment leadership makes decisions that are motivated by politics then the next momentry that decision may be recalled or revoked because the logic wasn't really behind that decision. Every man for himself.
