Long Hours and Lack of Recognition - HIGH TURNOVER ENVIRONMENT
Pros: PwC is a great place to start your career. The name is as good as gold if you are looking  to switch jobs. There are a lot of perks, decent health insurance, and if you are lucky, some are compromised of great people. At the end of the day, your experience at PwC will vary depending on who you work with.
Cons: The hours are very long. There is a lack of work-life balance. People are attached to the mobile devices when they are away from the computer - it is really unhealthy. Given the long hours, the pay is not amazing as it may seem. Overall, the compensation seems really high, however an associate's compensation is close to minimum wage once you factor in the time spent on the job. Unless you are planning to make partner, I'd say run for it after two years. 

Also, given that PwC is a big 4, one can easily get lost and steered off track (feel like a small fish in a big pond). With the same token, a lot of opportunities exist within the firm.
