Pros
- Health Care and Dental are taken are of - Many opportunities to advance in pay, but level of responsibility follows - A tremendous load of education, certifications, and college incentives that many other professions cannot match - Access to dietitians and fitness experts/ coaches free of charge
Cons
- severely poor lower level of mid-level leadership/ mentorship - upper echelon level directors and supervisors mostly concerned for themselves or just "going along" with the status of not caring about the impact on lower echelon personnel....Just get the mission done/ completed so that "I can get rewarded" - many high level executive preach about care, moral, and welfare of their hardworking employees, but at times NEVER consider that people make small mistakes and it is true that some new employees are still adjusting to a structured adult lifestyle/ profession - fairness with levels of punishment based on infractions or misconduct are NEVER faced with the same level of punishment, meaning senior level executives/ managers are many times given a simple written reprimand or verbal warning versus strict and severe levels of punishment according to military standards in actuality to what is written (according to military regulations/ laws) as actual - Nepotism and favoritism runs ramped through out various organizations - supervisors, directors, and executives, NOT ALL of them that are responsible for mentoring, teaching, and leading personnel making decisions based on their emotions instead of how the regulations state you are to lead troops - A culture of "everyone is a winner", most employees today think they deserves an award for doing their job when training is conducted offsite instead of doing something outside or beyond your scope of duties
