Pros

Good place to gain leadership experience. Great group of co-workers that are trying to all get the same job done.

Cons

Having a normal life outside of work is very hard to maintain. Often leaders do not have enough respect for their soldiers.

Pros

Depends on the unit and who you work with but overall it's all OJT. High learning curve but a good Battalion will work with you and be understandable if you're falling behind or slow.

Cons

Long work hours, especially if you miss a day or two and get behind. Obviously you can deploy and be gone for a year. You go to the field a lot. You go to NCT or JRTC at least once a year which is 1 month long.

Pros

Unmatched job security, decent pay (after the first 6-10 years), and unlimited training opportunities (within your career field). Strong sense of community and extremely diverse population.

Cons

Creativity and initiative not rewarded. Leadership has tunnel vision based on their personal past experience. Height-weight standards are arbitrary and favor short stocky people with fat necks. Fitness standards are not job related - just age related. "Fitness" objectives favor training for the test - not true healthy lifestyle changes and choices.
