Pros

Health care if you have a family is great tricare is not the best but its pretty much free and work with you. Steady income. In this tought economy you do have do worry about getting fired unless you do somthing wrong. Good people to work with on a w/c basis but you have to deal with the higher up with a smile.

Cons

Long hours that never end. You get used to complete tasks and you dont get paid over time so you may be working 16-19 hour days which can become unsafe. Not many people take responsiblity for their actions they want to pass the buck or through you under a bus which is very annoying. lack of proper leadership, a number of leaders have the wrong idea about leadership and have some of there priorities in the wrong order in my opinion.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
