Pros

Good opportunity for advancement, good mentorship (if you find the right person), good opportunity for training at senior levels. Once reputation is established, promotion and growth potential are much higher.

Cons

Assumption of rampant nepotism, good chance for advancement but can take time. Too much emphasis on experience vice education. Often times people are promoted based solely on experience without regard to performance, education or abilities. Sometimes fails to ensure the same standards are applied across the board for hiring/promotions.

Pros

Teaches you a trade while paying you. Social appreciation. Purpose. If you have no idea what you want to do with your life especially as far as a career goes, run to a recruiter. Regardless of whereever you come from a military career is your stepping stone into middle class and up living and career opportunity.

Cons

Every extra dollar you attempt to make beyond your rank will require more work than you will be paid to do. The real payoff monetarily you get from competing in the military will come in to play during your post life. Confidence, courage, accountability, etc are not standard attributes in people at all.
