Pros

work with many smart people (co-workers and clients) great training great name recognition on resume clearly defined career path opportunities for advancement Frequent flier points! Hotel rewards!

Cons

long hours little recourse if you are dissatisfied with your client difficulty getting on clients you want initially at first, you are completely at the mercy of the whims of the staffing managers. You must be in touch with the right person to get the assignments you want.

Pros

It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

Cons

Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
