Pros

Amazing job security & benefits package. Great camaraderie and sense of purpose. Guaranteed opportunity for advancement. With bonus & tax-advantage, compensation can be competitive with other middle management jobs.

Cons

Long hours and long periods at sea away from family. Difficult work/life balance. Pay scale is not merit based (rank based), but increases for inflation.

Extremely little free time, Dog eat dog mentality, high stress, extreme discrepancy between quality of senior leadership, too much politicking, not enough sleep, murky job roles
