Pros

The chance to do high level PR in the context of a consulting practice.

Cons

Too often the culture is focused around spinning the material that is given to us by clients and not offering feedback/recommendations on how companies can alter their business practices to be more effective/press worthy.

Pros

They offer decent pay if you play a little hard ball; they have typically decent benefits as a large company; working at a "big name" PR agency always looks good on a resume.

Cons

Machiavellian management, tends to be a sweatshop, various offices do not support one another, very difficult to change practices or offices within company; a few smart people, a lot of "yes" men. Mgmt doesn't encourage independent thinking that will really benefit the client.
