Great Firm, Bad Profession...
Pros: 1) Firm is known and respected worldwide as an industry leader
2) Very flexible on when you work your hours, as long as the work gets done
3) Great platform for networking and building relationships
Cons: 1) While partners might argue otherwise, public accounting services are truly a commodity.  Top performers are not rewarded adequately for the quality/value that they add.  The partners rarely push back on clients that set unreasonable deadlines or otherwise treat professionals unfairly.  These issues are not unique to PwC; they are issued faced by the industry in general.
