Pros

Opportunity for all based on political facility. If you can focus you can move ahead no matter what. Ingrained hierarchy can be plus or minus. Culture on paper superb, but in reality not healthy for non white , Protestant , non middle age men.

Cons

Bosses openly rascist since they can't be fired for anything. Women, all races creeds and color can get ahead but old boys at top will openly deride Muslims about beards, Catholics about Pope, Jews about being "quirky" money grubbers, Women about babies, daycare and nursing. I have heard all these things openly said by bosses. EEO rules followed but not embraced. You cant eliminate prejudice when those most guilty have so little self awareness , they don't realize they create a hostile atmosphere.

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
