Pros

The Navy is a meritocracy and hard work and dedication will take you far. In general, the people you work with are great. Lots of opportunity for travel and professional development. For many specialities, the salary and benefits are very competitive.

Cons

You can expect to work long hours with no overtime. You are required to move frequently. You will be put in harm's way.

Pros

The employment is stable, and there a lot of nice programs like tuition assistance, home loan guaranty service, free notary. There can be a lot of travel involved.

Cons

Management is top-down style, and request routing procedures are often frustrating. It seems management is overly caring when you don't need it, and indifferent when you do.

Pros

If your looking for a place to find your technical skills and learn to work around problems then this is for you. Overall your view is going to be VERY much part of where you work. Some will love their job others will hate it. It gives a great chance for growth in abilities.

Cons

Leaders can at times not fully understand their jobs thus making your life worse You don't just have to do your job, it is a "crew" ideal Promotion is sketchy at best while you can always make rank it is is in many cases based entierly on the time you have spent in not on how hard or good you work. Don't be fooled your not hacking away at computers or tearing into the newest things on the planet your most likely working on 40+ year old gear that is falling apart or takes 100 parts to do what your cell phone does.
