Pros – Career Stability and an above par work force. An opportunity for travel and a vast array of technical experience that is typically not afforded in the civilian work place.

I have been working at US Marine Corps full-time for more than 10 years
Pros – Challenging environment that consistently keeps you striving to improve yourself, your people, and the organization. Everyone at some point in their career, short term or long, gets the opportunity to lead and that is one of the most important skills in life.
Cons – Bureaucracy can really kill initiative and morale. The organization can get wrapped up in "that's the way we've always done it" syndrome instead of taking on the task to re-work a process that is better and more efficient.
Advice to Senior Management – Continue to stay true to the Corps expeditionary roots. This will keep us unique amongst the services as a complete, self-sustaining, fighting force for the nation. The longer we stay unique, the longer we stave off attempts to do away with the Marine Corps by those who can't be who we are.
