Pros

Excellent benefits package, and exciting career opportunities.

Cons

Rigid structure with very little lateral job opportunities. Long time away from Home & Family. The Navy rewards the job title instead of the performance achieved in that job. Senior job tours (i.e. Commanding Officer) are often too short in length to complete the feedback loop. Often times, the result of an organizational change is not observed by the CO who implemented it.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
