Pros

The job is challenging and cutting edge. The benefits are good. We're given a choice to work a flexible work schedule such as 9 hour days with every other Friday off. We deal with the latest cutting edge technologies. Everyone has definite job security. There is great satisfaction in providing superior products to our those serving our country.

Cons

There is too much bureaucracy. There are times when politics can drive bad decision making and make it hard to accomplish goals. We have ridiculous funding rules compared with the private sector that can create problems with logical decisions. It takes forever to hire additional workers and we sometimes lose people because it takes HR so long to make a job offer.

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.
