Pros

It was a good experience to have had - but like most things in the military - good chance you could have a supervisor or your supervisors supervisor that is not a great person. My supervisors were great. People above them - 3-star admirals and above - as well as some SES civilians were not great at all.

Cons

There was a reason I lived at work - because it was expected that one both worked that much and needed to be on that short of a leash.

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.
