Pros

Great IT/Cyber Training (boot camp/certification). Great opportunity for hands-on learning; live missions (for active teams). More relaxed than regular Army. Lots of freedom for self development. You get to be part of the growing DOD cyber force.

Cons

It was just activated in 2014/2015, so there are some growing pains. Most of the senior leaders don't have any cyber training, so they treat it like a signal unit instead of a technical spec ops unit. The teams are disjointed, not uniform and inconsistent. Training does not properly prepared employees for the missions; a lot more on-the-job learning.

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
