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

Leadership and Travel Opportunities. One is given an extremely high level of responsibility for people and equipment almost immediately. 20 years to full retirement to include Medical Benefits for the whole family. The fraternity culture is extremely rewarding. This job can be an adventure (intrinsic reward) if one chooses the right career path.

Cons

Being forced to move every 1 to three years can be tiresome and nearly impossible for your spouse to progress in her chosen profession due to the moves. The overall culture is still set in the 1950s when women stayed home. Deployments are the only way to get ahead financially. It can be difficult to develop a life outside of the Army. Compensation and Benefits for those who truly deserve them is nearly impossible to achieve. The good and the bad are promoted universally. Most Army Posts are in the middle of nowhere, The Ugly, (i.e. Fort Campbell, KY; Fort Bragg, NC; Fort Drum, NY; Fort Hood, TX; Fort Polk, LA), thereby making it more challenging for your spouse to find a job. Most Employers around Army installations actively discriminate against military spouses.
