Pros
Adventure - you get to travel the world and actually get some time off to explore (unlike working commercially). Nice ships. VERY easy to move up and get sea time.
Cons
You never get to go home. You will be overdue every time sometimes for ridiculous amounts of time. You can't plan any kind of event or vacation because you never know when you will be home. Working with people in the office can be very frustrating. Very high turnover so you are always training someone new or taking on the duties of those who quit.
