Pros

Overall, these were some of the best and worst years of my life. I learned so much, and grew so much as a person. The opportunities here are like any other. There are not shortage of insanely cool jobs in the Army. Compensation is actually pretty good if you factor in the GI Bill.

Cons

There was definitely a lot of bureaucratic garbage that had to go. And more importantly leadership would never invest in improving systems. leading to archaic practices (e.g., manual inventory paperwork). Several leaders were not fit to lead in a modern era where using technology is a must. Lots of useless trainings that hindered mission readiness.

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
