Do Caesar Miniatures come pre-assembled or do you have build it yourself?

They are single piece figures.

Pros/Cons to this versus multi piece?

Caesar Miniatures almost always come as once piece. Some of the ancients have a separate shield or spear, etc. They fit together very well. Check out Plastic Solder Review for photos of all their sets. I have photos of many of the WWII sets on my blog.

They do produce multi part sets for assembly. Plastic soldier review lists them (code numbers begin with CM). Example here: link

Unfortunately most of the weapons come pre-bent as well !

I have a truck load of Caesar WWII British I don't need if that is something you might be interested in….

Some of their fantasy sets have detached limbs, which need to be glued into place. They fit very well, though. I typically use E6000 Glue to attach the bits.

With regards to bent piecesweapons, you can either use a clothespin to hold them straight for a couple of weeks' time, or you can immerse them in boiling water for a few seconds, then hold them straight, and immerse them in ice water, to lock them in a straight position. I find the clothespin technique easier, though very time-consuming. If you are in the USA, Michael's Hobby/Craft Stores sell mini-clothespins, more suitable for this technique, especially for 1/72 scale figures. Ask the staff where to find them, or enjoy browsing for them on your own. Cheers!

I've found the water need only be hot, not boiling. Works a treat. I've also used this on many Wizkids figures.

I heard some caesar figures have plastic filler inbetween the weapons and the arms (ie german infantry). how do you get around this?

Those bent weapons of Ceasar Miniatures are very easy to straighten with short use of soldering iron, done this hundred times:
