Pros

Unbeatable benefits within the military. If you have a pulse and show up to work each day, you will continue to get paid. Numerous levels of subordinate leaders ensure that tasks are completed.

Cons

The same thing that make great pros also make great negatives. Those that are retired on active duty will make your life hell because they know they just have to show up to get paid. Also, the many levels of subordinate leaders generate significant inefficiencies.

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
