Pros

If you are young and green this will be a fun place for the first few months until you realize that it is back breaking work for very little compensation.

Cons

Low pay, long hours, little or no confidentiality regarding HR conversations. When you leave you are essentially bad mouthed and forgotten. Management will not pay out owed salary/ commission due to arbitrary reasons. Making minimum wage for the first year and propping up senior consultants. Party culture that can be very alienating for people. Not somewhere that you can grow your career unless you drink the kool-aid.
