Pros

Training applies well compensating real world jobs. Having a consistent pay you can depend on is nice.

Cons

No effort to change the work climate. You're expected to work extremely long hours often getting little to no sleep per day. If you have a medical or psychiatric issue they will intentionally try to stop you from getting help if it may endanger your position on the watchbill. Extreme inconsistency in who gets punished and for what when something goes wrong.

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.
