Business outlook
Pros
Working with the military is a great experience. It's definitely a culture that cares about its people, the benefits are phenomenal and there's a lot of room to grow and transform from a kid out of high school or college into a confident leader. Few places will give you the opportunities to move and grow as quickly as the Air Force.
Cons
With the ongoing budget concerns the Air Force is definitely drawing back on the amount of outside training you'll be able to acquire. Benefits are great but depending on your job the pay is sometimes lackluster. Enough to get by, but computer programmers, pilots and air traffic controllers to name a few have significantly higher salaries on the outside.
