Pros

Considerable downtown. Ability to finish masters degree while at work. Important mission and strong job security. TS clearance can be valuable after seperation.

Cons

Frequent short notice schedule changes. Inconsistent schedules. Expectations are that you will work night shift with little to-no-notice or preparation. You will spend 1 to 2 weeks per month away from home and family for the first 3 to 6 years. Base locations for the first 3 to 6 years are limited to MT, WY, and ND. This is one of only a few jobs in the Air Force that will not allow you to compete for special duty assignments or career broadening at your 3 year mark. Skills learned have very limited transferability in the civilian world.

Pros

Laid back environment get your work done and you can coast.

Cons

Appraisals are off of the buddy system more often than not i.e. if you went to the same college as your supervisor you’ll likely get good scores if not good luck.
