      Satisfaction of public service tempered by cultural flaws inhibiting free and honest flow of ideas.

      Pros

      The satisfaction of Public service. Decent compensation and benefits. Reasonable work conditions, with great variety and challenge. Secure and reliable employment. Extremely high levels of interpersonal morale and camaradery.

      Cons

      Heavy hierarchy; disincentives for honesty in providing feedback to leadership. Very frequent relocations involving disruptions to family. Tendency of leadership, upon change at the top, to engage in pet "visions" or projects; a tendency to apply business concepts to military management and leadership that do not fit or are ill-considered. Very strong pressure to go along to get along, with attendant pressure to put career first, over public good. Underestimation of the value of infrastructure and staff to the success of the mission.

      The Navy: A good job with sacrifice.

      Pros

      The benefits and the opportunities available in the Navy are hard to beat. Plus, in economic times like these, the job stability is a plus!

      Cons

      Extremely demanding hours and work environment at times. I'm a Surface Warfare Officer, and in addition to 6+ month deployments that you will encounter every 18-24 months, there is also duty days and "work-ups" in which the ship will also spend time at sea and away from home. The demands of the military are also very stressful, and you have to be very flexible with your own time.

      Pros

      the pay and the benefits are ok. advancement in theory is fair being by a test however... evaluations also play a part in that and if you haven't been kissing someones ass then don't expect the good evaluation i dont care how good your work/ work ethic is

      Cons

      first don't expect to have a life outside the navy the hours are long and the list goes on all around a horrible place to be it is a bad place to be when you have senior leadership doing the stuff they tell everyone else not to do fairness, fratanizing, breaking every rule they say
