Non technical management, management doesn't value what you do, pay isn't anywhere near the civilian equivalent.

Pros

You get a month off per year. Pay is stable, dental/medical is free, and housing is paid for tax-free.

Cons

Deployments and changing stations means there isn't much stability. Your coworkers are replaced on a frequent basis. You have to be physically fit.

Business Outlook

Pros

Patriotism, guaranteed retirement at 20 years(currently), opportunities to travel and if you don't like your bosses/coworkers the personnel rotation will shuffle you or them, computer programming field(if you do end up coding) can have you coding anything from Assembly to Cold Fusion, shared experiences leading to lifelong friendships are very common, excellent job/life experiences for young men and women

Cons

Easy to get stuck in a bad job/location for years due to manning, on/after E-5 will stop doing anything related to IT, AF seems to push enlisted to take the role of an administrative assistant or party planner regardless of actual job, computer programming field doesn't always mean you will have a role in the software development lifecycle
