1. You may get paid more. Going above and beyond might be what makes you the next person promoted when an opening comes.
2. You may open up more opportunities down the road. Going beyond what is required may get you noticed by coworkers that may prove to be in important positions to help you many years down the road.
3. You almost certainly will learn that way. By going outside what what is required you will put yourself in new positions and face challenges you wouldn't otherwise. This can be one of the best ways to learn.
If nothing else, it can help you be less bored then just doing the minimum required for a boring job.
