Challenging worklplace not for everyone

Pros

Challenging work environment where you have the opportunity for large amounts of responsibility very early. Think about skipping at least 4 to 5 years of work experience immediately out of college.

Cons

A soul crushing amount of tasking. I know it sounds like complaining but even the most efficient and well rounded people I know would admit that there is no way to achieve all that you are supposed to. Leads to shortcuts and just putting out the closest fire. Primarily stems from understaffing. There are just not enough officers around to get all the required things done. I held at least 4 job titles the entire time that I was in the military. Its hard to excel when you have this many balls in the air.

Pros

A great place to receive more experience in your job title. The pay and benefits is great for officers right out of college and the responsibilities you have is difficult to come by as a first job.

Cons

Long working hours and little to any time home with family. Deployments are long but you get to see a lot of great places.
