Pros

Your fellow officers and sailors. You will meet some great people in the military.

Cons

Management is often incompetent. Issues when trying to change a unit's direction due to the "we have aways done it this way" mentality. Politics is also a player in the officer corps so watch yourself as things can and do come back to you.

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.
