Pros

Provides good training and the experience you gain is useful when you leave the firm to find a better job.

Cons

There is no work-life balance. Hours are long especially during busy season. You are not paid for overtime and you're not making much when you consider all the hours you're working.

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.
