Pros

- Decent work life balance* - Recognizable CRA name, if that's your ideal career path. Easy to get in on the ground floor of a somewhat decent name - Good benefits** (See addendum below)

Cons

Where to begin... - *Good work-life balance, UNLESS your day is filled with absolutely pointless and drawn out meetings. I've never been in a company filled with so much bureaucracy. - ** While the benefits are decent, the pay is absolute bottom of the barrel. They will act offended if you try and negotiate. - Cancerous office culture. Lots of wasted time. Younger office with far too much gossip and far too little productivity. - If you're interested in finance and/or real estate, don't expect to see much of either. Site inspections are interesting, but you need to slog through template set-ups and downloading to get to that stage.
