Pros

- Great place to build basic business skills - Intelligent young staff to work with - Exposure to limitless companies not seen in other companies - Highly recommend for the motivated individual out of school

Cons

- Promotions stagnate based on flow in office (those who are more senior than you are in line ahead of you until someone quits or the work arrives) - If no one in the office wants to sell its a big problem with getting new/interesting work - Lots of administrative tasks which appear to have no purpose

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.
