Pros

Great stability (difficult to get a civilian position but equally difficult to lose your position aka you have to try really hard to mess up enough to get kicked out). Great benefits. Great opportunity to transfer to other locations if other positions open up. Usually great people all around to be honest. 4 out of 5 people are truly great people, but that 1 bad egg is my Con...

Cons

If you have someone in a position of leadership/power above you, you're at the mercy of them for most of your professional experience. Even as a civilian employee, it's still the military so they hierarchy and chain of command is real. So it's awesome if you got someone on your team, but if it's someone who's been there a hundred years and just soaking in the extra money on top of their retirement pay, then there's no way up.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
