      The army is not a ''okay'' job.

      Pros

      The Army takes care of you but only to cover its own butt and do get more people to join. The GI bill would be the best reason.

      Cons

      Way to many to list them all, invading you personal life, loose most of your rights, told where you have to live especially if your single. Food and living isnt free like the tell some people when they join the just deduct it out of your pay check, if you are gonna go shoot things or blow things up or do any kinda of training theres about a 4 hour or more waiting period before it actually starts. Everything we do in the army is way over safety causious. Most of the time soldiers are wasting their time on a daily basis sitting around and doing nothing in a moter pool/office or doing something that has no purpose at all.

      Incompetence abounds.

      Pros

      Free tuition, Veterans benefits. Paid to shoot and blow things up. Health care is free - can be nice to get elective surgery like laser eye surgery.

      Cons

      Inefficiency is very high. Personnel and finance departments always lose everything, and will instantly charge you if they discover (even erroneously) that you owe the Army money, but it takes months and is like pulling teeth to get money they owe you. Too many layers - have to do the same thing several times for multiple levels of management. Invasive of your personal life. Frequent very short deadlines if upper levels want you to do something, and you must give upper levels a lot of notice if you want to do anything - but they can give you the plan for an extensive training day at 9pm the night before, or change it at the last second.

      U.S. Army has multiple ups and downs

      Pros

      In a very unstable economy, the Army is a guaranteed steady source of income, where you don't have to worry about the possibility of losing your job at a moment's notice. While the system is not perfect, the Army does provide valuable services, such as on base housing, health insurance and life insurance. There also many on-base programs designed to help Soldiers and their families with a variety of issues - child care, spousal employment, finances, religious support and much more. Also, the G.I. Bill is there for all Soldiers, so everyone has the opportunity to get a college education.

      Cons

      Anyone and everyone can and will act as your boss, whether they even know what is going on or not. You are trapped in your job, no matter what. This isn't a job where if you decide you don't like it or it's not going to work, you can just put in your two weeks' notice. You sign your life away to the government in a contract that is almost unbreakable. Your personal life is no longer personal. The Army can be involved in almost everything you do, and there are a lot more rules than in the civilian world, and you will be punished for breaking them.
