      US Army- Great Place for Mediocrity and Job Security.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great benefits, including health care, retirement, dental, housing, and family programs. Promotions are almost guranteed for officers up to LTC rank as long as you put the time in. Also has outstanding comaraderie between peers. Every day is different, which can be a challenge, but it also keeps the job interesting. Integrity and courage are valued. Great racial and gender diversity.

      Cons

      Frequent moves mean you never get really comfortable in a job and they cause stress on families. Frequent deployments also stress families. There's a "we can do it" culture, no matter what the mission, which leads to doing more with fewer resources and less time. Outstanding performance isn't recognized with additional pay or faster promotions, creating little incentive to excel. But the biggest problem is that as officers progress in the Army, many of the best ones tend to get out in favor of civilian jobs, which dilutes the quality of officers at higher levels.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Health Care with unlimited sick leave and free medical prescriptions. Guaranteed paycheck with no layoffs, free housing, utilities, legal representation, health club, private and discounted grocery (commissary) and shopping mall (Base / Post exchanges), College loan repayment up to $65,000, GI Bill for completing College after service, College Education paid for 100% while serving in uniform, Pension for life at 50% of your top salary after 20 years. Immediate responsibility, potential for quick career progression, training, security clearance, working for one of the largest organizations (companies) in the world.

      Cons

      Deployments of 3 months to 12 months, risk to life and limb, working "on call" every day. The moving from one location to another every 3 to 7 years is seen by many as a downside of working with the Army, but in many cases is quite a positive aspect.
