Pros

Excellent benefits! Training is top notch and is generally considered the top training institution in my career filed (Biomedical Equipment Technician).

Cons

The single biggest con for working for the US Army is long term deployments. Deployments mean time spent away from family. The other con is moving from duty station to duty station every few years, though some people "homestead" for years at a time.

Pros

Education benefits. Medical care included. Reliable paycheck, discounts, respectable pay. Impresses some people. Chance to travel. Always a market for the job.

Cons

Long hours. Often taken away from home. Can be physically strenuous and mentally stressful. Can make civilian scheduling complicated. Chance of downsizing. Might get shot.
