Pros: PwC is a great place to grow as both a professional and a person during the early part of your career. They offer great training (especially around emerging tech), student loan paydown, good health/dental insurance, vacation time, firm holidays (close for the week of Christmas and 4th of July in the US), and various other benefits initiatives. You will learn a lot, enjoy a high level of benefits, and have a great name on your resume for when you make the next step in your career...or you can stay and make partner and be very successful so long as you are one of the special type of people that can handle the hours and personal sacrifices.
Cons: The culture of the firm attracts great people, but the nature of the work can be boring, the lack of opportunity to find the projects you feel you are passionate about and can add value to, being overworked and underappreciated (not just compensation wise) are the norm, and results driven management that refers to its junior level employees as "resources" and emphasizes being staffed on client chargeable work as much as possible, have been contributing to a higher than usual rate of turnover (the hot job market is also a factor).
