      Pros

      1. service to your country 2. high sense of community and pride in work 3. outstanding co-workers 4. awesome benefits--a complete pension at 20 years!

      Cons

      1. irregular schedules (it's the best thing and the worst thing)--every day is different, which is great because it doesn't get dull; however, it's difficult to plan personal/family life around such a flexible and demanding schedule 2. deployments to undesireable places for 120 - 365 consecutive days

      Sacrifice and Reward

      Pros

      The job satisfaction in the Air Force is one of the most rewarding that I could have anticipated. The system of rewards and feedback is well established. Morale is enhanced by the many opportunities provided by a dedicated agency in charge of morale and welfare. Compensation is steady and is guaranteed, unlike many civilian jobs it is rare that members are 'let go' from steady and satisfying work.

      Cons

      Members are required to sacrifice their family life for extended periods of time because of deployments or long hours of training or exercising. Often, leadership is taught from a management book instead of something garnered from experience. Many senior leaders also seem to be bred from this corporate and conformed book leadership, instead of being born from experiences of the battlefields.

      Pros

      Job Security. Competitive pay with the private sector. On the job training. Benefits. Relocation reimbursement. Signing bonus. Move from gs 7 to gs 11 in 3 years. Opportunity for continuing education. Pay for schooling. This is a civilian job so there is no basic training or enlisting. Internship program takes you through 6 month cycles learning the ropes of what the position entails. Easy finding job placement after completing the internship program. Recommended to get masters while in the internship program.

      Cons

      Vacation days take a while to accumulate. After you reach your rank it takes a while to go up the scale.
