      Pros

      Loyalty and a team environment, great quality of life. The opportunity to practice leadership and responsibility at a young age. The ability to be held accountable for your actions and to see the impact of your decisions on the organization that you are leading

      Cons

      Deployments if you have a family, everyone in a year group gets promoted the same. The best workers just get more work and the slackers get by and still get promoted. The Army has closed all of the good locations to be stationed. If you want a nice place to live, you are limited to Tacoma, WA, Germany, and Washington DC. Most of the other bases are in the country with limited to no ammenities.

      Pros

      You will always have a job. No matter how bad you might be at something, you cannot get fired. You get free medical, dental and vision without having any deductions out of your paycheck. If you live on post, it's free. However the Army pays you for housing, and often times you can rent a really nice place off post, pay all the utilities and still have enough left over to cover cable and internet. When you are deployed, your paycheck (minus s.s.) is tax free.

      Cons

      Downsides would be deployments to Iraq every other year. There are no 8 hour work days in the Army. It's work until everything is done, which can sometimes be as much as 16 to 18 hours a day. There is no overtime pay. You cannot go on vacation when you would like. You are subjected to the whims of those over you without any say. Often times those who out rank you have an "elitist" attitude. With rank comes it's privileges is really taken to heart. You move around every 2-3 years. You don't have much say on where you get stationed. You can be called in on weekends without any compensation. You are limited in the distance you can travel from your duty station. Medical care, depending on your provider can sometimes be less than desirable.
