Pros

Good benefits and reasonable work hours. They are flexible with my schedule when I need to take time off and don't stress me out.

Cons

Not a lot of room for growth upward; resistant to change and new ideas. Often the "way we've always done it" is good enough for them.

Pros

You will learn valuable leadership skills and you will constantly tested. Some opportunities to see the another country if the Army doesn't pull you somewhere they need you. The health insurance is nice and your housing allowing is respectable.

Cons

You will deploy and be away from for family for at least year. Very talented officers are leaving after their obligation is up because they are doing so many other things other than their normal job., i.e. dealing with the bureaucratic nonsense and added admin paperwork. You will be risking your life in combat. If your decisions aren't timely and accurate, then someone else's life may be at risk.

Pros

It's an outstanding opportunity to gain some discipline and find some adventure. The comradery is great IF you land in a line unit.

Cons

Horrible promotion system with abhorrent pay for the job we do. You can work 2 jobs at McDonald's and get more money for the same work-week. Also, the benefits, housing, health care, and training are poor.
