Pros

Every 15th and the end of the month, you receive a check (should you decide not to get a monthly check and split it mid-month). Continued raises vary by percentage approved annually. The PayChart will show income raises based on time in grade.

Cons

Salary not hourly driven. The majority of days are 8+ hours, some days can be less if planned correctly. The climate, work/life balance, Culture, and Values are directly correlated to the management at local and higher echelons. Pros within the Cons: you will be able to identify great leaders from the "not-as-great" pretty quickly when leadership changes every 2 years on average do to movement cycles.
