It really depends on the kind of job you're looking for or the career path you're considering.

If you want to go into academia, and you're considering a master's program as compared to a Ph.D. program, the advantage of the master's degree is that is allows you to get your feet wet in graduate level physics without the long term committment of a full Ph.D.

If you want to go out into industry, the master's degree will make you more educated and give you a higher and more specialized skill set than a person with an undergraduate degree. The specific skill set will depend on what you study in your program and this will naturally affect your personal marketability.
