Pros

High pay (if you're on the right scale)

Cons

Horrible management, useless and biased HR, bad behaviour from high-ups are constantly ignored and associates continued to be belittled and bullied. Current office managing partner is the "big bad" that everybody dislikes, but still promoted to the role just because of how much money he brings in.
