Pros

Very high opportunity for furthering specialty education. Unlimited experience potential. Tuition assistance benefits. Physical fitness is part of the job. Overall good medical benefits. One can work for great leaders.

Cons

one can work for terrible managers in leadership positions. Work environment can be a real hardship. Management often only gives lip service to employee concerns of neglected benefits. Soldiers' health treatment and benefits are curtailed in order to save current and future budgets.

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
