Pros

Location is family friendly and quiet.

Cons

Department of Defense systems do not operate in a normal fashion. A careerist bureaucracy is heavily entrenched in key positions and is more concerned with protecting fiefdoms rather than serving the armed forces.

Cons

-cannot control your schedule -work odd hours -during deployments, be prepared to spend 12-15 months away from friends/family then do it all over again after 9-12 months of downtime -sometimes the Army does not promote its good Soldiers and promotes those who deserve the position only due to time in grade

Pros

Insane benefits, 30 days paid leave, high % of tax free income, you can essentiallly get away with murder/be in the 90th percentile of laziness and still get paid.

Cons

No matter how hard you work, no matter how much more value you add than your peers, no matter how much ninja smoke your peers use to disapear at work--you will never get paid more than her/him. It is a bit disturbing how many underperformers are allowed to sham 20 years away doing very little to earn the very fair pay.
