Pros

Job stability (it's nearly impossible to fire a civilian worker), esprit de corps, generous sick/annual leave, decent salary (typically higher than private sector equivalent).

Cons

Frustrating bureaucracy, job incompetence usually results in promotion or reassignment (since it's nearly impossible to fire a civilian worker), pilot-dominated "good-ol' boys" system results in unnecessary leadership micromanagement (i.e., pilots can do no wrong and are experts at everything--even job areas the pilots have zero experience in--but non-pilots are inherently screw-ups), frequent leadership turnover results in "reinventing the wheel" every time a new commander comes on board.

Pros

Steady paycheck and the ability to do some things most people simply can't. Healthcare is free but impossible to get the right care.

Cons

Rank is given not earned, rank is looked at and not character, health care is terrible doctors are not doctors they are np and do not know nearly enough to get proper care.
