Pros

Very dynamic place to work. They promote intellectual growth, as it is a research facility. Best place for engineers that want to solve problems and not work with canned solutions to everyday run of the mill, and uninteresting problems.

Cons

Remote location in Mississippi. Surrounded by a series of poor and uninteresting towns that are still suffering the aftermath of the Civil War and abolition of Slavery. For those with family, schools in the immediate area are of no consequence and utterly useless.

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
