Pros

You get free housing, food aid, free education, and a lot of paid time off. You get certain training that on the civilian side is pretty difficult to get.

Cons

There will be long workdays. Depending on the person, the mandatory training will be very difficult. Leadership can be at times rough to deal with. The duty station you go to will largely dictate what job you do regardless of the training you have done. Work/life balance is difficult at times. Culture can be pretty toxic.

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
