Pros

The Army is great place to work if you don't mind deployments. Truthfully, the army really takes care of it's soldiers with benefits moves etc. You really can get by as an officer and make it through the ranks. one of the best retirement plans period. Just need to make it to 20 years. When you meet good officers and have a good team, it can be a beautiful thing. In some situations, everyone works together toward a goal and you are all working hard.

Cons

Deployments can tear families apart. Also, most people need to wake early for physical training 0600 and sometimes you can work very late hours.

Pros

Personal growth, chance to impact global affairs on a daily basis, solid pay and excellent benefits. Being a veteran can also open significant doors into other arenas of interest.

Cons

Poor management, terrible work-life balance, lack of innovation, no lateral mobility for Officers; you are provided a pre-chosen track for a large portion of your career. You are promoted with your peers, regardless of performance, although that is starting to change.
