Pros

Pay (much stronger than expected, benefits really add up) Respect from others after leaving Increases tolerance for pain -- after leaving I will never again complain about lifestyle etc Making it through has made me more willing / able to sacrifice and be disciplined

Cons

Lack of respect shown up and down the officer chain Low quality personnel in all management positions (up to Admiral) Managers generally more concerned with self-promotion than doing a good job Lack of accurate KPIs Personnel are not taken care of or respected across the company Too much emphasis on covering one's behind

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
