Pros

Great to work with people that in general are not there because they are motivated by money. The opportunities to change jobs, get new experiences, and grow professionally are great.

Cons

The deployment tempo for certain career fields makes balancing family life difficult. In my current career field it is a 1:2 dwell (home for one year, gone for six months). It does not sound bad until you add in home station job, travel, additional training requirements, etc. Great opportunities to see the world -- but not the greatest locations.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
