Pros
There is a lot of potential to learn about accounting and business. Accounting is the easy part. You don't get into this to "account." You get into this for the exposure to business. As far as I'm concerned, this is more like a consulting gig, even if we are all accountants. There are a lot of industries that an employee can choose to be in. Therefore, there a lot of opportunities learn about different types of businesses.
Cons
The hours are tough. The more issues a client has, the more hours you are going to work. Team chemistry is also important. You don't want to be stuck in an audit room all busy season when team members don't get along.
