Pros

team oriented - family atmosphere - excellent benefits - secure job - not tied to the economy. The Army is certainly a stable job with a lot of comraderie. There is intense pride in the job that we do. We have a family atmosphere and work within a rank structure that deters careerism (stepping on others to get to the top).

Cons

compensation - standard of living - time with family. Compensation for the job we do is inadequate and the standard of living is poor. Army continues to improve, but can't keep up with the national rates. Rank structures are advantages until you work for incompetent people who by virtue of rank and not performance or potential are in charge.

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
