Pros

Intense responsibility from an early age, excellent training, learning organisation. Hardworking peers. You get what you put in

Cons

Nights and weekends and personal freedom take a back seat. This is a mission driven organisation. I would say this is a pro, but it's a con because it's a necessary health warning. It is not call of duty, and you do not log off. You commit for several years.

poor pay for required expectations

Have been in this job for 22 years now and have enjoyed it most of the time covering a range of jobs within the Royal Engineers including combat engineering, communications, explosive munitions clearance, explosive particle detection, recruiting and many other areas of the job that I do not have the space to include but it is now time to move on and try something new

Cons

Can involve a lot of time away from home which is ok when single but can prove problematic with a family.

Unique training experiences , with amazing people.

Cons

Be prepared to get cold and wet

Working with the civil service is a let down.
