Pros

In the US Navy, you can learn a lot of knowledge on the job you do and also learn many leadership skills.

Cons

Don't get much of any appriciation from hard work. Rank structure can be a bad thing because people think they are better then you when they are not doing much.

Pros

As I said, good people, and good work. The people are all in it for mostly the right reasons, and the work is simply worth doing. Hard to be dissatisfied with that.

Cons

Can certainly be a thankless job. There's clearly no overtime, and being in the military subjects you to the whims of others.

Pros

Great benefits, travel, retirement, pride, professional development, education opportunities. If you do well in the Navy, it will serve you well in your transition too the civilian world.

Cons

a lot of time away from family, LONG hours, occasional problems with upper management, move every few years. New location means new management, which can be a great thing or a bad thing depending on how well you liked your previous location.
