Pros

A challenging and rewarding job that creates a sense of pride and commitment to a cause while recieving a consistent paycheck, healthcare, and support services. There is a tremendous variey of tasks and goals to be accomplished and unmatched opportunites for unique experiences in exotic or foreign locals.

Cons

Long unpredictable hours in uncertain environments with management who is either incompetent, untrained, or uncaring. Generally a hostile environment for information technology professionals of all colors. Frequent extended periods away from home.

Pros

The opportunity to serve your country is truly the most rewarding portion of being a Marine. The myriad of leadership opportunities, billets, skills, and responsibilities you are exposed to as a Marine Officer prevents boredom and fosters professional growth. The opportunity to work with others that share the same passion for service and their country is invigorating. The pay and benefits are good.

Cons

Extended time away from the family, constant turnover of leadership and personnel, cookie cutter approach to promotions (One size fits all for officers). No chance for promotion ahead of peers based on performance. Seniority rather than performance or ability dictate promotion. A senior officer with average performance and average ability will get promoted before a junior officer with superior performance and superior ability.
