Pros

Great benefits, keep in shape, lots of time off. I got 4 day weekends when ever a holiday was coming up. Lots of respect from community and military discounts.

Cons

Leadership can be difficult to deal with. Lots of rules and regulations and formations. Time away from family to do field problems and have to do demeaning jobs

Pros

Great benefits. If enlisted, based on your ASVB score, you can choose what branch you want to work in. ROTC is also a great option with many benefits as well.

Cons

This job is very time consuming. Plan to be away for months at a time, while trying to adjust back to civilian life as well.

Pros

Worked for the Army as contractor through my school and it was an amazing learning experience. The people I worked with were extremely helpful and always stop what they are doing to help each other out. This was pretty refreshing given the negative image of government I heard before coming on board. You basically make your own schedule and do what you want...given you complete all assigned tasks for the day and you stay on top of your items. LOTS of training opportunities. My advice is to take all the training you can. Training equals pay raises in the Army.

Cons

Culture took some getting used to. Work with a bunch of "good ole boys" that all know each other from Vietnam days. As a 34 year old, it's pretty hard to impress these fellas. Upper management is lazy!!! Don't expect them to help you out much. Great program leaders but terrible team leaders. Upward mobility is a huge game!! If you don't know the rules, your career will be dead in the water.
