      The Army is the best thing I've ever done with my life!

      Pros

      The Army has opened up so many doors of opportunity for me. I have been able to travel all over the world and meet all kinds of people. The Army pays my room and board as well as all my medical bills! It is not hard being a soldier in the Army - you just have to do what your told to the best of your ability. Respect those superior to you. Live by the Army Values. I am proud to serve my country. I have never regretted enlisting in the Army a day in my career and I never will - even through some of the rough times - and yes, you will have them, but those are what make you a better soldier.

      Cons

      Downsides of the Army? There aren't many. If there are they are petty things that don't really matter too much. The deployments can be long and tough and they can take a toll on you, not just physically but mentally and emotionally. It's easy to get frustrated but most of the time you have to grin and bear it.

      Good place to work if you aren't looking for recognition

      Pros

      Great sense of purpose and pride coupled with the opportunity to work with a highly dedicated and competent group of people make the Army a great place to work. Why else would most Army alum be proud to tell you they've served. If you want to really do something worthwhile, and meaningful there are ample opportunities (and need) within the Army. The last decade has seen the greatest integration of active and reserve forces in this nation's Army, making either component (AC or RC) good choices. Newer veterans' benefits such as enhanced educational benefits are a great plus. This is one of the best employers around for getting real world experience very quickly.

      Cons

      The organization can be narrow-minded and parochial at times. The processes for many of the administrative functions simply do not move with the sense of urgency of most operations. The process for contracting, orders, and pay come directly to mind as not keeping pace with the rigorous demands of an otherwise high-performing organization. Performance feedback can be dismal, and promotion system does not do much to distinguish various performance levels causing all but the very highest performers to move "with the pack". While many times this recognizes the most deserving 1-3% it is a real downer to see the amount of time and energy spent retaining sub-par performers. Frequent deployments (time away from home) are definite downside as well, but come with the territory.
