Pros

Work-life balance is excellent. Performance reviews are done quarterly, so you never have to wonder if you are meeting the requirements of the role. There is a lot of flexibility to do on the job training in other areas. It's easy to pivot into new roles if you have an interest.

Cons

The operations tempo is high and ever-changing. You must remain vigilant at all times. They are completely solution-oriented. You will have little space for complaints, especially if you offer no solution. Occasionally the work is overwhelming due to how quickly things are changing in the operational environment.

Pros

Great on a resume Education benefits (e.g. Montgomery) Free certifications; SkillBridge programs when leaving Phenomenal mentorship from seasoned leaders (Mostly) predictable work schedule Guaranteed career progression opportunities Potential for unique schools (airborne, air assault, rangers) A lot of time for personal development (if good leadership) Free healthcare VA benefits after leaving the service Huge veteran community after service

Cons

Sometimes unpredictable and very long work hours Not a lot of room for personal development (if bad leadership) Clearly unfit individuals in leadership positions in every unit A lot of time away from family when deployed/on rotation Moving from duty locations every few years on average Work may take a heavy toll on personal health Being treated like a child as a 30+ year old Overbearing emphasis on inclusivity and diversity for a military organization
