Pros
There is a good variety of work as a consultant. The projects are usually fairly interesting, but it really depends on some luck and also who you get to know. Often, as you start working in a certain industry or function, that experience leads you to continue down that path and it takes quite an effort to do something really new.
Cons
The hours and quality of project management really vary, making each project pretty different from the others. The travel can get old, especially if you are going to the middle of nowhere and your team isn't the most exciting. It's kind of a free-for-all environment when it comes to getting projects and promotions, everyone is out there for themselves so it makes the process interesting.
