Pros

Great benefits, excellent retirement, and outstanding pay when overseas. There are opportunities to get excellent training and to develop your leadership skills.

Cons

Very little time for family and high paced. Promotions are based on length of time in service and not on accomplishments. Tends to reward people who do not do well. Frustrating to be led by supervisors who do not know how to lead.

Pros

Great professional growth and training opportunities. Build confidence, reliability, and teamwork abilities. One of the best chances to learn to lead people in high stress, dynamic situations. Very respected as a previous employer.

Cons

Work life balance is very difficult. Deployments are happening too often. There is some inequity in assignments and deployment schedules (some people don't pull their fare share). Due to so many people getting out, almost everyone gets promoted, so there is no real incentive to stand out.
