      Positive but definitely has downsides - Section (Platoon) Leader US Army Employee Review

      Pros

      The benefits, the very competitive pay, the security of knowing your job isn't going away anytime soon, the good people we work with. 30 days paid vacation every year in addition to Federal holidays.

      Cons

      deployments are terrible. spending a year away from your family while in a dangerous area is not fun. It's a lifestyle, not just a job, and it definitely takes some getting used to.

      Pros

      Great on a resume Education benefits (e.g. Montgomery) Free certifications; SkillBridge programs when leaving Phenomenal mentorship from seasoned leaders (Mostly) predictable work schedule Guaranteed career progression opportunities Potential for unique schools (airborne, air assault, rangers) A lot of time for personal development (if good leadership) Free healthcare VA benefits after leaving the service Huge veteran community after service

      Cons

      Sometimes unpredictable and very long work hours Not a lot of room for personal development (if bad leadership) Clearly unfit individuals in leadership positions in every unit A lot of time away from family when deployed/on rotation Moving from duty locations every few years on average Work may take a heavy toll on personal health Being treated like a child as a 30+ year old Overbearing emphasis on inclusivity and diversity for a military organization
