Pros

It is a steady job with good pay. It is also doing something that you can believe in, and offers opportunities you cannot find anywhere else (flying jets, driving submarines, etc).

Cons

Leadership has started to lose it's ability to think outside the box and the effect is trickling down and affecting who stays in and who moves into the civilian sector.

Pros

It is what you make out of it. You'll have good days and bad days. It's all dependent on your leadership. That can make or break the command. Medical is free, but can take a while to get seen. You'll meet a lot of new people and could travel around the world depending on your duty station. Education benefits and training.

Cons

Medical can take a while to get seen, unless it's an emergency. If you're single, the pay isn't that great, but you don't have to much to worry about for bills if you live on base. If you're on sea duty billet, your work life balance will be terrible.
