Great career starter
Pros: 1) Great flexibility. If you need to take a day to deal with errands or doctor's appointments, no big deal. 
2) Opportunity for advancement. Promotions happen every 2-3 years.
3) Salaries raise frequently. Often at 8-13%
4) Experience. Get to work with many corporate executives in corporations all throughout the US.
Cons: 1) Long hours. Expected average 45 hours/week. Busy seasons are even crazier.
2) Independence. Can't have 401Ks or stock or loans with EY clients. Gets very complicated.
3) Lots of HR overhead. Dealing with frequent job feedbacks, long goal lists & semi-annual long reviews, all while handling normal workloads, make it frustrating.
