Pro and Cons in being Certified

On if the benefits in being certified in Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. is being able to manage projects and obviously getting paid more. Your boss can see that you are ahead of the game, and even get a promotion, whether it be in yearly bonuses or in rank. One of the cons, I guess, is that you are gonna get more work than the other workers, but that just adds to the challenge that you can shine your skills. More work, more money!!
