Pros

Good health benefits Ability to compete for higher education opportunities You can be lazy and still get promoted Good retirement benies

Cons

Very non-competitive working environment Creative ideas are sidelined For military officers compensation is not equal, for example you can work very hard and get rewarded by working more complex programs and that can net you double the amount of responsibility for the same amount of pay. In other words you can work very hard and get paid the same as someone who doesn't do anything--and you get promoted based on time not ability or worth.

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.
