Pros

Benefits are pretty great. The week off at Christmas and for July 4th are amazing. Good paternity leave. Depending on your team it could be a cushy job

Cons

The old boys network is strong and certain behaviors are forgiven if you're liked by the right people; do not expect career advancement unless you're willing to hobnob

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.
