Pros

Resume Builder. Lots of paid time off (25 days); unfortunately this includes sick days and will usually be the only time you will get off.

Cons

No life. No time to use time off. If your married, you will probably get divorced if you stay for long. It's all about face time. Incompetent tax managers. Bill, Bill, Bill. There is not such thing as a busy "season." Most of the staff are incompetent football types that plug numbers and follow last year only. 95% of the staff/manager not know what is going on with there job. Jobs are there life. limited social events as everyone is too busy chatting in the office during there down time.

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.
