Pros

The location is superb. You can't beat living in Hawaii. Governmental housing allowance (BAH) for military members is excellent and COLA is very high (more half my net income is BAH + COLA)

Cons

Senior officers and senior non-commissioned officers have a tendency to stay too long at one location. Living in Hawaii is obviously desirable and therefore, it is very common for senior military personnel to float between the major commands in order to further their stay on the island (USARPAC, PACOM, JPAC, 25th ID, US Army Hawaii). While this is certainly understandable, new and "fresh" opinions are less common. You will more than likely find units in Hawaii to be very different from other units or organizations you have been a part of.

Pros

Important mission and great opportunities to travel and work in the AOR. Great fitness facility. Substantial compensation package. Secure location.

Cons

Entrenched civil servants, contractors, and self-righteous senior military officers who more often skirt the gray line of fraud and waste in government. A culture that is resistant to change and will eliminate by all means any dissension. An office environment full of senior and subordinates unwilling to accept new ideas. Harassment and inaction by senior managers to correct the problems. The pay does not compensate for the workload. Management is asked to continually do more with less. Many civilians should be immediately removed, but somehow skirted the process and received pay-grades well above their abilities. Discrimination is common at all levels. There is no support for training. Contractors (BAH specifically) who more often sit around on Facebook instead of actually working. Senior (Flag/General) Officers who are as competent as the Equifax Cybersecurity Managers. Civilians who take advantage of the travel to execute a lot of unnecessary travel. Parking sucks.
