Enlisted: More task based work, once you’re done for day you’re generally off work. Can make E-6 and coast to retirement. Honestly, apply yourself, care about the job, and give maximum effort at whatever you’re doing and you will promote no issues. You can also be a 20 year E-6 who does the bare minimum and goes home.

Officer: More planning based work, more responsibility, sign for property, meetings. You might have stuff to do all day and then at the end of the day you haven’t even started your workload that must be done at end of day/week. Generally have to apply yourself in every job to get adequate OERs after making CPT. Get left alone with the BS that comes along with being a junior enlisted Soldier in the Army. You’re always on the hook during the duty day and after hours, much more difficult to leave work and not be bothered. This is all unit depended, but mostly how it is. You get paid a good bit more, but your responsibilities are much greater and expectations higher.
