Business Outlook
Pros
The colleagues and community are the best part of serving in the Army. The diverse amount of people who, for the most part, are all committed to working together in a positive manner to accomplish a mission are unmatched anywhere. Great people and feeling of contributing to something greater than yourself. The professional development system is top notch as well. Seniors are encouraged and required to support their subordinates in growing.
Cons
The Army will require intense commitment and time from you - whether that be extremely long work hours (60+ per week are normal), alerts/formations at times unheard of in the civilian world, huge amounts of mandatory training, and common deployments / temporary duty for months or even years.
