Pros

Real quality individuals to work with. Shared hardships make for excellent friendships. The organizational skills learned and the life experience can't be beat. There is immense pride that comes from being a part of the combat arms branches of the Army.

Cons

Some people in the Army don't care about why they are there - they can be very frustrating to work with.

Cons

time away from home the more rank you get the more red tape you have to wade through if you don't fit the cookie cutter mold the army has you will face more challenges than others

Pros

Cooperative environment, competent peers, and focused effort toward goals. I have worked jobs both in and out of the Army and did not find the level of professionalism or honest commraderie that exists in my current position. Very experienced and educated individuals who create superb teams that solve complex problems.

Cons

Hours are long and hard on family time. However, the reason most people work long hours is because of the dedication to the job and those who work around you. Almost automatic promotion rates do mean that some get promoted without being qualified; however from my experience in the private sector, this happens at the same rate or worse outside the Army.
