Pros

The medical and dental benefits are excellent. The job offers a wide range of challenges in your chosen career field. You will gain a valuable work ethic.

Cons

The pay, retirement benefits, and career advancement paths are primarily designed to benefit the careers of officers. The pay for enlisted members is not commensurate with the amount of expertise and experience required for the performance of their duties. The advancement system for enlisted personnel is slow and outdated to ensure a well qualified low paid work force. It should be more in line with the civilian GS grades. Long deployments hinder the development of a personal life outside of the Navy. Substandard living conditions also detract from the overall quality of life.

Pros

Challenging and exciting job. Great benefits and paid vacation. Compensation is good. Job locations can be very good. Good development as a leader.

Cons

Lots of time away from home. Promotion is often based simply on years of service, not merit. Frequent moves are required.

Pros

Lots of flexibility in terms of assignments. Working capital-funded organization runs more like a business. Can move up quickly in terms of responsibility level.

Cons

Responsibilities not commensurate with salary and promotion potential. This goes both ways: Some people over-perform and some under-perform. Reward structure does not allow for much differentiation, despite the use of paybanding and increased managerial discretion with respect to salary increases and bonuses.
