Good for a while...
Pros: - Variety of work (in the Consulting service line)
- Work with senior client executives everyday (COO, CFO)
- Given lots of responsibility from the start (depending on project)

I would say the job is good for a couple of years for those interested in learning about Consulting, however unfortunately promotion and success depends on who you know and getting on large projects where you might get noticed, but aren't necessarily doing the work you want.
Cons: - Resourcing is horrendous and you hardly get a say on what you work on, meaning you could get stuck on a project you have no interest in for months

- Lots of travel involved with not much room to negotiate, meaning you could be away from home up to 4 days per week

- Tough sales targets set by management mean low staff bonuses (I got nothing last year)

- Long hours (I have worked here for 3+ years and have barely left the office at 5)

- Salary is underpaid compared with the amount of hours you work
