Business Outlook

Pros

Pride of service and dedication to the warfighter. Challenging and rewarding work. Online training resources and tools - if you know where to find them.

Cons

If you did not serve or were not an officer, it can be hard to earn respect for your opinions and expertise. Budget battles are vicious and it is hard to protect civilian positions from cuts. There are regulations for everything and they may be woefully out of date. A lot depends on where you work and the microclimate within that chain of command.

Business Outlook

Pros

There is the patriotic answer that you are doing service for your country, and that is true, but the job is a real adventure. I change duty positions every 2 years. I am trained as a pilot and project manager. I am routinely thrust into unknown environments and sensitive positions where I am forced to figure thing out quickly or bad thing might happen. Talk about a rush, I travel internationally, get paid well, and I'm held in high esteem by my family and community. Yes, the conditions are sometimes tough and there is the issue of family separation, but the job is never boring, the training never more critical and the sense of accomplishment never more real. Its not for the faint of heart, but then again, I'm seldom stuck in a cube farm wishing to be somewhere else.

Cons

Life threatening situations, 24/7 duty hours, unexpected interruptions to personal schedule. physically demanding work, restrictions on your freedom of speech, lengthy family separations and subject to the whims of our political leaders. Many don't feel the benefits outweigh the demands. You have to be in it for more than a paycheck or you'll never survive.

Business Outlook

Pros

Unlimited potential for advancement, extensive opportunities for travel, continually growing and expanding responsibilities, when with like-minded professionals, the world is literally your oyster.

Cons

work / home balance is non-existent, it's all work; while there is constant emphasis from the very top on trying to make things better, all that comes out is great one-liner's- there is no change. While people make the Army one of the best places to work, they can also make it absolutely intolerable. Acidic or "show me the money" leadership that use you to get promoted have become the norm where they were once the exception.
