Pros

Plenty of growth and leadership opportunities are available with a reasonable amount of employee choice in selecting individual career paths.

Cons

Often times, your ability to continue career progression and pursue lucrative opportunities are driven by factors beyond your control. As with many jobs, a key aspect is solid performance of the individual, but I've seen many good officers get passed over for promotion who were solid, but in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Pros

it is a job :)

Cons

lots of RTO, highly indicative of managers that only understand work is happening when they see it happening.

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.
