Pros

You'll meet a wide variety of people from all walks of life that will, in some way or another, expand your worldview. You'll get valuable training in your career field from the ground up. Plenty of great benefits to speak of, from free healthcare to educational benefits.

Cons

It's a government bureaucracy, which can sometimes have you dealing with frustrating amounts of red tape to get even simple things done. Sometimes you'll get dealt a bad on who your leadership is, and that can make for a frustrating experience. Can get really demanding, and the job asks a lot from you at times.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
