Pros

Benefits are nice. Can't say much more than that.

Cons

Management is terrible. Impossible to get anything done do to the constant derailment of an out-of-control bureaucracy. Skills and abilities mean absolutely nothing when it comes time for review/promotions. All that is considered is a bunch of irrelevant government training. Basically if you try to get your job done, you aren't attending ridiculous training courses and you fall behind the incompetent in terms of pay. Terrible system. I would rather work for a place that bases promotions and advancement on merit. Also, there is a lot of "good ol boys". If you are family or friend you will go far. Top down directives, bottom up funding.

Pros

Extensive benefit plan to include tuition assistance, medical, dental, trade skills training and paid housing. Constructive way of utilizing your time when you have no apparent career path.

Cons

Contract commitments are lengthy and can be detrimental if not self driven. Pay is not the best in the beginning however staying committed will eventually create a fair return on investment.

Pros

Many great opportunities to travel and see the world and work with some amazing and talented people. The skills learned in the military can easily transfer into the civilian work place.

Cons

The hours are very long and very stressful. Sleeping onboard ships with other people there is no privacy at all and the laundry bags start to smell when there is no water available to wash clothes.
