Pros

You have the opportunity to serve your country and work with others that serve their country as well. Job security is guaranteed, there is no way you can lose your job in the Army. Pay is decent and promotions are guaranteed. Taking care of Soldiers is definitely the best part of this job.

Cons

No matter how hard you work, you will be promoted right along with everybody else. You will make the same amount of money too. Family life is pretty much non-existent. Your superior officers are typically power hungry individuals or people that would not make it in the civilian world. For every one good officer, there are probably twenty bad.

Pros

Great benefits, excellent retirement, and outstanding pay when overseas. There are opportunities to get excellent training and to develop your leadership skills.

Cons

Very little time for family and high paced. Promotions are based on length of time in service and not on accomplishments. Tends to reward people who do not do well. Frustrating to be led by supervisors who do not know how to lead.
