Business Outlook
Pros
The Navy offers the satisfaction of serving your country while getting some great experiences. You get immediate management experience and a wealth of travel opportunities. The salary is outstanding and increased markedly during the first four years, the compensation is overall unmatched.
Cons
Advancement is almost entirely automatic until 15 years into your career when hard workers can finally break out. If you want job satisfaction and rewards for going the extra mile, this is no the career for you. There is very little consideration to your personal life versus the "needs" of the Navy, even if those needs are artificial constraints and not real world demands.
