Pros

Opportunity to develop and grow as a leader. Great camaraderie and job satisfaction because in many cases one knows his/her role in helping the organization achieve its mission.

Cons

This institution is the epitome of entrenched bureaucracy. This organization wastes more talent than it can afford to lose with mismanagement of personnel. It has a limited ability to flex enough to help personnel expand and reach their potential which causes an exodus of a disproportionate amount of talented folks.

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.
