      Pros

      There is opportunity for advancement and you will learn fast (in part becasue turnover is huge). Big 4 firms will look good on your resume. You work with smart people (who generally leave soon after starting).

      Cons

      In general, smaller markets mean you won't work on large or public clients. There's no work life balance. It seems management doesn't care about employees. You might be out of town for months. You will have no life at "home" when you get back. If you stay with the firm you can expext the people you become friends with to leave. Requests for certain types of assignments are ignored in favor of convenienceof management.

      Pros

      It might sound cliche but the Pro for me is the people that I work with. I'm lucky enough to be staffed in a team with great leadership. Managers are actually willing to coach junior members and be a real mentor. I very much appreciate their efforts.

      Cons

      Long hours and office politics. This is pretty basic and obvious for any public accounting firms. Every time a quarter end, year end, or a special filing is going out, you can expect 10-14 hour days. It might be fine in your early career but it gets really tiring after a few years.
