Understand what you're getting in to
Pros: PwC is wonderful if, at the beginning of your career, you are completely convinced that accounting is the career you desire.  If this is something that you truly want, all the resources are there for you to achieve, e.g. training, client portfolio, knowledgeable coworkers, etc.
Cons: There are sacrifices involved.  You will not have a consistent work schedule.  Do not count on being regularly involved in activities outside of work.  
PwC prides itself on its team based approach to work.  However, this concept varies.  Often, a "team" refers to a group of people sitting in a room who only speak to pass down work to others when their "plate" gets "full."  There can be very little collaboration in actuality.
