Pros

The US Army provides a great culture and value system to work in. In general people are quite friendly and supportive. There are plenty of diverse projects to work on and many are interesting and challenging to keep employees fully engaged. The management gives ample freedom to employees to conduct their work to enable creativity and innovation. In addition, there are tremendous opportunities now because of major organizational and strategic transformational changes at play. Furthermore, hardwork and dedication is recognized and rewarded fairly. And importantly work-life balance is valued and the management is family friendly.

Cons

If one wants to pursue traditional business careers such as corporate finance or marketing, then possibilities are limited to none.

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
