Pros

For someone looking to just warm a chair, do the bare minimum, and go home at 4, this is a perfect place to be. When starting, you get some decent training, depending on your career field, then either get tired of not enough work or watch YouTube/facebook all day.

Cons

This is not the place for innovators or those with a drive to achieve something every day. If you go overseas, there is always a manning shortage and a lot of work needing to be done, resulting in fulfilling work, but the stateside is a waste of taxpayer money. Civilians who have been in place for decades, more often than not, prefer nothing to do so they can be retired in a cush office outside their home. Some are great, but most are leeches on the government welfare system, the DoD.

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.
