Pros

The benefits are decent, almost everything is taken care of for you. Just simply show up and do what you are told and life will be easy. There is room for promotion, generally the best are promoted quicker, but with any organization, there is a bottleneck to make it to the top.

Cons

Primarily, I would say the worst is deployments, and you stand a chance to die. What more really do I need to say. Everyone should serve their country if only for a short period of time and know what it means to fight for freedom.

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
