Great compensation and good career opportunities. Horrible work/life balance.
Pros: The compensation is pretty good and being able to expense, get travel points, etc. is always a plus
Points deserve an extra mention here. Points for everyone.
Prestige - makes you feel pretty awesome working for a Big Four consulting firm
Some great opportunities for growth - if you know where to look and know the right people
Cons: Absolutely no work/life balance - everyone is expected to work more than the hours they are allowed to bill. 
Penalties for not making aggressive utilization targets, despite the above.
High expectations for extracurricular contributions, in addition to 60-80 hours of client work. (Read: Good-bye weekends.)
If you get stuck on a bad project, they are allowed to extend you at the expense of your career growth. (Example: My friend was extended so many times that she had to threaten to quitting the firm so that she could switch projects after almost a year.)
