      Think carefully before you join the USMC!

      Pros

      Some of the best reasons to work for the US Marine Corps is the benefits. These benefits include free medical, dental care, 4500 dollars a year towards going to college or technical school, GI Bill, and the camaderie among co workers.

      Cons

      The downside of working for the USMC is the intrusion into your daily life by management. Basically everything you do and say is controlled., including what you do for the weekend.

      Pros

      There is no greater sense of pride and accomplishment than leading Marines through the process of planning and executing missions in order to protect our country. There is also no greater learning experience. In pushing yourself and mobilizing a team you learn about how to overcome adversity and how to inspire. Your mistakes will teach you invaluable lessons about yourself and how to treat and lead other people.

      Cons

      It would be the perfect job if it was not for the work/life balance. First off, you have to live on Marine Corps bases, which are not necessarily in the types of locations where you would otherwise want to live. In such locations, there is also a high likelihood that you will be in a rural, somewhat isolated place, though severallocations are beautiful and/or have decent ly large populations. Secondly, deployments can be tough on a family. The promotion process is very fair, but unlike the private sector or political appointments in the government, you must advance slowly, moving up the ladder one step at a time.

      Not the normal life style and an opportunity to get out and see many different aspects of this world in which we live.

      Pros

      travel and the opportunity to defend your nation. develop special skills that civilians lack. mostly that of operational experience and placement in diverse and complicated environments where your forced to make tough decisions.

      Cons

      You work for the corps the corps doesn't work for you. pay isn't the best, but you can't expect more from the government. its hard to get promoted in the marines and its hard to have a normal family relationship with the amount of duty time the marines require.
