Pros

Some very exciting roles out there, if you can get them.

Cons

Army is "boiling the mud", which is to say that the good leaders and managers boil away early leaving more mud at the top. If you work for a good leader then they'll protect you from it as much as they can, but there are so many bad leaders that it's inevitable that you'll work with one at some point which is when most people leave.

Job security, you work with people who care, part of a team

Cons

Not every one should be in the army and some slip through the cracks and make it hard for everyone else

Pros

Very competitive pay and benefits, frequent travel (can also be a con), constantly varied work, frequent chances to switch jobs, fairly frequent promotion at lower ranks

Cons

Work-life balance is difficult to achieve due to frequency of travel and occasional odd working hours, very hit-and-miss management quality
