Pros

If your leadership chain is decent and supportive, this may be the best job you'll ever have/

Cons

Depending on where you work, you may struggle with poor leads and coworkers. It's far too easy to coast as a federal employee. That doesn't mean we're all coasters. If you do a good job for a good group of leads, you will be recognized and rewarded. The problem is if you do a horrible job and contribute nothing, you will be able to maintain your job. Some of my coworkers actually make my job harder than it should be.

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.
