Pros
Some of the best reasons working in the Air Force is great are the medical and dental benefits, life insurance, and tuition assistance, which is 100% by the way. Depending on where you work, you'll usually have your ups and downs just like any other job outside the military. There is usually good comaraderie amongst peers and colleagues. That also depends on how you present yourself to others within your workplace (just like on the outside).
Cons
Downsides of working in the Air Force, or even the military in general, are the times when you'll be ordered to work 12+ hours in a day during certain times, the pay doesn't seem to suit the amount and quality of work required of an individual to produce (though the benefits outweigh that con somewhat), and being deployed, though not all members have to deploy. One learns that through the tough times the unit's strength will rise some and give at least some increase of morale to get the job finished to be able to go home at the end of the day.
