Pros

If you don't have education and work experience, but are intelligent and got good grades in school this is a great way to get all the work experience you could ever want, and more. Top notch benefits and great pay.

Cons

You will live on the boat one out of every 3 days, and then be prepared to stay for a full workday after. 80-100 hour workweeks as standard. Long hours, on the boat all the time, close minded and reactive leadership, really just an awful terrible place to work. Near the end I couldn't wait to get out.

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.
