Normal Big 4
Pros: The structure is phenomenal. Every resource you need, you have. You are literally pampered, wined and dined. It's amazing! Also, everyone is patient and willing to train you, especially the Staff 2s. The only downside is long hours (which is NO SECRET), but busy season is literally only 6-8 weeks, depending on the client. After that, it's a normal work schedule. I cannot wait to go back and work full-time! Overall, I'm sure it's the same as the other 3 big 4 firms.
Cons: Sometimes as an intern, even in busy season, you have nothing to do, so you can't get overtime and you're super bored. I can't imagine how boring the Summer internship would be since summers aren't busy. I couldn't do that. Do winter!! The long hours can be a turn-off, but they are temporary (7 weeks or so), but it's awesome if you're an intern cause you get that OT. I'm sure it sux for those 7 weeks as a staff. 

No benefits as an intern, not even if you're sick.
