A love-hate relationship.

Pros

The Army has great benefits, and can provide a challenging work environment with unlimited possibilities for personal and professional growth.

Cons

When you sign up, the Army can do whatever it wants with you for as long as you signed up for (and for a full 8 years, to a lesser extent). The Army will ALWAYS consider its own needs first. Your needs/wants/aspirations will come second, and may be ignored completely by your superiors and career managers.

The needs of the Army do not always match the needs of the employee. As a result, you must learn to cope with disappointment from time to time.
