Churn and Burn
Pros: I worked at Deloitte for 6 years transferred from Audit to Consulting and experiencing various service areas through out.

1. Great place to start - a great resume builder
2. Great benefits - PTO, health insurance, team dinners, hotel points, rental cars [if needed], plane rides, phone, etc
3. Great experience - opportunity to work with leaders of the firm often
4. Great place to learn - visibility to various service areas with a variety Commercial and Financial Service clients
Cons: 1. Hours - you will work an average of 60 hours for your whole time at Deloitte no matter if you are in Audit or Consulting. You will be expected to answer work related questions from 8am - 1am and will be actively working from 9am - 12am (few breaks in between). There will be occasions, during a busy time you will work until 4am and then be expected to show up at 9am the next day. After being on about 20 different clients this is what most teams expect (very very few exceptions).
2. Pressure - If you cant handle the heat get out of the kitchen. The nature of the beast, but be expected to get assignments at 9pm due that same night and constant fire drills. I should have noticed the signs of my high blood pressure and anxiety way before it got too out of control. 
3. Management does not care about you - Again nature of the beast. Management answers to their manager above them, so they are under pressure and you are the pawn that will do all the work no matter the hours, no matter the stress. They pretend to care, but don't be fooled, they don't care, they are only pretending to do so in order for you to take on the large amount of work for them.
4. Work life balance - none

Overall... Churn and Burn. You work here until you are physically ill from exhaustion, stress, or other physically or mental ailments. But if you can take it, good for you! You are brainwashed to think this is the way work/life has to be. But, there is a whole other happier world out there. No benefits, compensation, exposure, or resume booster is worth the pain corporate life dishes out. Unless you like that stuff, then go for it!
