A great place to work if you want to be an accountant
Pros: Great pay, benefits, and upward mobility.  The company is definitely large and has a lot of opportunity for lateral and upward mobility.  Very professional and takes a lot of interest in developing new young professionals into business people.  A great place to begin a career and learn the ins and outs of the professional world.
Cons: Large time commitment (obviously), just part of the business.  Also, audit work involves a lot of local travel.  Very often did I not know what client i would be on until the Sunday before, but that really depends on how well the individual office is managed or who your manager is.  Overall, it's a public accounting firm.  Worklife is more or less the same as others.
