Competitive Salaries, depending on career field, opportunities for growth exist. especially if you're willing to travel. Occasional career broadening opportunities.

Cons

Environment can be political. Constant re-org, new management theories. Military turnover/uncertain leadership/staff changes. Issues "baby boomer" generation squatting in positions.

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.
