Pros

Dynamic work environment. A great career. Usually great fellowship and satisfaction with mission. A job other people find interesting.

Cons

Could have long hours and extended time away from home. Frequent moves. Personnel management no longer treats members like family, resulting in personnel being treated with little or no consideration for family stability. Senior promotion is based on community and not on performance accross the corporation. Corporate headquarters in the Penagon, leaders are transiant in nature and are not held accountable for corporation performance. Poor resource planning often results in crisis management in the short term. Cannot transition from strategic vision to proper operational planning.

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.
