Great place to start, but life is too short to work this much!
Pros: PwC is a great name to have on your initial resume out of College.  PwC teaches you how to work.  PwC allows individuals to learn how to learn, and requires that the person take responsibility for their career.  PwC grants a person great access to a wide variety of clients and high-level individuals.  There is good upward momentum at PwC that can allow someone to advance in their career rather quickly.  Vacation benefits are good, and the unlimited sick day policy is just the right thing to do.
Cons: Because people do get promoted rather quickly, the quality at the senior management is questionable.  Also, PwC does seem to promote quickly through to Director/Senior Manager, but seems to slow the process significantly when someone is attempting to make Partner.  Work life balance continues to be a problem at PwC.  Salary is ok, but the benefits are not that great, primarily because they do audit so many companies making the funds that are able to be invested in the 401K rather lousy.
