Pros
Its hard to imagine many places where your job satisfaction in terms of service to nation is better than the amy. If you need structure and absolute security, the army is the place to be. Not to mention benefits that are hard to match in any economy.
Cons
The army is not a meritocracy. Everyone's evaluation says they are the best thing since sliced bread. Efficient and effective performance is rarely encouraged or rewarded. When virtually everyone gets promoted at the same time its hard to imagine why, aside from personal pride, one would put forth that extra effort. Thats why so many junior officers leave. Its not about the money.
