No consideration for work/life balance
Pros: Experience and networking is all I can really say. There is no comparison in this regard.
Cons: There is really no consideration for work life balance. Management has recently decided to move to a 45 hour work week, though you aren't compensated for that. Days frequently extend past the required 10 hours (lunch is not paid time). If you like to separate your work life from your personal life, this is frowned upon too as you are looked down upon if you don't attend after hour events. 

There are 3 weeks of vacation but now management is starting to require to use a portion of that at certain times throughout the year. Many people don't use their time off as it effects your utilization, resulting in many people coming into work sick or not getting a break. 

The work environment, depending on the engagement, can feel very much like a frat. Management is known to play favorites and it's discouraged to go against the grain. 

Pay may seem like a good amount at first but when you realize how many hours you will be working you'll realize you aren't being paid fairly. Management says it's a competitive amount compared to similar firms, though they should be comparing it to a proper standard of living rather just what others are paying.
