Do your 1 year post undergrad and get out
Pros: -Good name on your resume.
-High intensity environment forces you to learn how to act professionally. If there's one major positive I took away from EY it was being "polished" terms of how I communicate in meetings, emails, etc.
-You are forced to learn fast (however often times what your learning isn't what you are interested in or isn't all that useful for your career).
-Opportunity to build connections, and a lot of other young people who are in the same position as you can lead to good friendships at work.
Cons: -Horrific senior management. The people who stay in consulting for their whole career are usually borderline delusional in terms of expectations and the life-or-death mentality they have when it comes to work.
-Hierarchical nature where promos are forced based on tenure leads to a lot of mediocre people in power positions leading projects.  
-Extremely old school mentality and culture where people think working absurdly long hours is something to be proud of. 
-No matter how much work you do, someone will always want more. If you do a good job on your work, your reward is... more work. This leads to the talented people getting burnt out and leaving.
-Minimal motivation to work harder or get better - forced 2  year/3 year promo cycles, minimal difference in raises for performance, lack of any type of recognition from management.
