Pros
You do get a great experience of being able to audit various large international firms. In addition, from a job straight from college, you learn a great aspect of financial accounting and the different transactions that occur. For example, in public accounting, you learn a typical company's fixed assets, accounts receivable, accounts payables, fixed assets, inventory, cash, pensions or 401K plans, etc.
Cons
You can work many hours and weekends without even a thanks from management. It appears that the lower levels can be blamed for management's mistakes in budgeting and other matters.
