PwC is the way to go when you frist get out of college
Pros: Working at PwC  will open many doors of opportunities once you decided to move on to a different career path (not in public accounting).  One greatest thing about working with PwC is that you will be constantly learning from one day to another. Your salary will increase approximately from 20 – 40% once you jump to another company.  If you leave PwC when you are a Manager, you could even be a Controller for a private company, a Controller for VC etc your opportunities are unlimited.  Basically, the longer you can stay working at PwC the better there are opportunities for you when you leave.
Cons: The work hours can be very long depending on the assignment that you get.  One time I was on a restatement and I would have to work at least 12 midnight everyday and all the weekends for 4 months straight, in other works there are, no work life balance at PwC.  Also, you would be expected to travel as far as fifty miles to your client from your base office and in a few occasions you will be require traveling out of states for an audit.  Every time you are at a new client you should also expect to work with a new team (new seniors, new managers, new partner etc).
