Pros

You make lifelong friends that you can rely on for anything at any time. Lots of opportunity to travel as well as a lot of room for growth within the Marine Corps.

Cons

Sometimes there are ridiculously long days and there are times when there are better solutions to problems, but senior leadership is stubborn to new ideas and opportunities.

Pros

Great practical experience. Learned enough of a foundation of skills to start a professional career in the private sector. Could write a book on how to not treat people that has served me well.

Cons

Promotion structure makes little sense. For example, 2 people in the same office, one with subspecialty A, one with subspecialty B. Both doing very similar work. One subspecialty will have promotion score requirements that promotes its members years before the other subspecialty. Imagine being a well decorated Marine with 4.5 years experience and having someone with just over 2 years experience achieve a higher rank, simply based on the low required score of his subspecialty. Good experience but I am glad to be done with it and making literally 10 times more.

Pros

100% insurance, above and beyond competitive pay. Promotions based on personal achievements as well as competition among others, a great place to stand above the rest.

Cons

No personal recognition, Senior leadership is very incompetent, they base decisions on their personal views, not on the views of overall team.
