Pros

Good opportunity for advancement, good mentorship (if you find the right person), good opportunity for training at senior levels. Once reputation is established, promotion and growth potential are much higher.

Cons

Assumption of rampant nepotism, good chance for advancement but can take time. Too much emphasis on experience vice education. Often times people are promoted based solely on experience without regard to performance, education or abilities. Sometimes fails to ensure the same standards are applied across the board for hiring/promotions.

Pros

Laid back environment get your work done and you can coast.

Cons

Appraisals are off of the buddy system more often than not i.e. if you went to the same college as your supervisor you’ll likely get good scores if not good luck.

Pros

Getting 2.5days of accrued leave per month is nice, which adds up over time. You can request leave whenever within your schedule and it won't be denied.

Cons

Not too much structure when it comes to squadron training. Depends on your squadron but leadership can really determine your experience.
