KPMG is a great place to start a career in accounting.
Pros: If you're sure that you want to pursue a long-term career in accounting then KPMG is a great place to start your career as it will provide you with endless accounting related opportunities.  In general, the auditing profession provides you with a great opportunity to see many different companies and gain a better understanding of business.  KPMG-Minneapolis has a great set of clients unmatched by the other big 4 firms in Minneapolis.
Cons: The profession has a way of pigeon-holing you into a career in accounting, so I would suggest starting out in industry instead if you're not certain that accounting is the path for you.  The KPMG-Minneapolis works alot of hours which is a product of having a great set of clients (ie. always work to be done).
