Pros

Career Advancement -- You pretty much get exposures and open your door to many different industries by just being a consultant. This give you plenty of opportunities to dip your feet in to see what you like and if you'd like to work a particular industry over long term.

Cons

Sometimes you get staffed on a project that you absolutely have no interest in. I felt uncomfortable at times having to give advices/acting as a subject matter expert when I know by heart that I don't really know a thing about it.
