The major con to testings is that many people see them now as just another way for an instructor to bring in additional income.
True depending on the testing fees. For a full afternoon of testing I made about $50 after expenses of the certificates and belts. Not much to cover time for 2 black belts (not being paid) and the time spent in prep getting the certificates ready. But I know I am in the minority on low testing fees.

I've seen this in some orgs...I have to admit that I never did need to shell out one dime for any rank test and the belts were always included.
