Pros

Decent pay and benefits. Pay seems low at a glance but once you add the benefits it turns out pretty good (housing, food, medical). I did a 4 year run and didn't regret it. Got out with a new car, savings, and money for college.

Cons

Office politics. I absolutely had no desire to rank up and babysit people. Unfortunately the longer your in, you tend to be more of a manager rather that the doer. If you like a job where you actually work, the military kinda loses it glow after you rank up. Involves so much paperwork and report writing.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
