Pros

The military pays a housing allowance based on the location of the base. Usually once a month there is a 4 day weekend. 30 days paid leave per year (weekends count as weekdays when using leave). Free healthcare. Free education/tuition assistance (some exceptions). Many opportunities for free training.

Cons

No overtime pay in the military. Some days are long, others may be short. Training events may sometimes be on weekends. Time away from family, deployments etc. Typical government bureaucracy and "red tape" creates frustration for many leaders.
