Good place to start, but how much you get out of the experience depends on you
Pros: You will never learn more in another position than you will in your first five years with a Big 4 Firm, and you be compensated as such when you decide to leave.  If you can take the stress and the long hours, stick around as long as possible.  It's worth it in the long run.  PwC was like family to me and was always able to help me meet my needs.  You just have to remember that it's your life and your career, so you have to take charge and ask for what you want!
Cons: I'm sure everyone is familiar with the cons... long hours, small pay, grumpy clients, a-hole senior managers and partners... it comes with the territory!
