Great for resume, lousy for work life balance
Pros: Career development, good for your resume, potential to make partner, vast knowledge resources, continuing training paid for by the firm, opportunities to work in other offices both nationally and globally, opportunities to be challenged and learn new things
Cons: Work life balance, "up or out" approach, promotion by tenure instead of performance, salary is poor until you make senior management (but then increases significantly and remains one of the best salary/retirement and pension benefits anywhere once you make partner), long hours, client serving which means that you are expected to be available at any time, focused type of work (i.e. only accounting)
