Pros

Being a Chief is the most rewarding job in the Navy and the networking is the best. Leading junior Sailors and grooming the junior officers is the best part of the job.

Cons

Long hours and possible time away from the families due to long deployments and having to go on a IA is probably the worst part.

Pros

The medical and dental benefits are excellent. The job offers a wide range of challenges in your chosen career field. You will gain a valuable work ethic.

Cons

The pay, retirement benefits, and career advancement paths are primarily designed to benefit the careers of officers. The pay for enlisted members is not commensurate with the amount of expertise and experience required for the performance of their duties. The advancement system for enlisted personnel is slow and outdated to ensure a well qualified low paid work force. It should be more in line with the civilian GS grades. Long deployments hinder the development of a personal life outside of the Navy. Substandard living conditions also detract from the overall quality of life.
