Pros

IF you get lucky and end up under good leadership, you might learn a thing or two about leading people. Also, it is a good way (not a great way) to earn college tuition.

Cons

Long hours, VERY POOR LEADERSHIP, Complete, lack of oversight on leadership, Terrible politics, Sexual politics, leadership will lie about Jr. personnel to cover their butts, LONG HOURS, no recognition of effort, job well done, etc, no one appreciates a junior sailor's input on ANYTHING. Poor medical care, you may spend 13 months (as I did) with a medical issue, with absolutely NO TREATMENT. Also, DO NOT let anyone in your chain of command know about ANY medical issues, they will humiliate you for them, often in front of the whole division.

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.
