I am about to get a new Macbook Pro and switch from my PC. Can I use iCloud to transfer my files from my PC to retrieve them from my new Macbook? Are there any complications to this or is this pretty straightforward?

With that said, the only real concern you should have is the types of files you are transferring and what applications you use to open them. Most standard formats like Office documents, PDFs, etc.. should have no problems being opened on a Mac. If you have more specialized file types you may need to find software that can open them on a Mac.
For instance if you use Microsoft Access files (*.mdb), Access is not available in Microsoft's Office suite for Mac. So you need other apps to open them.
Other than that, there should be no issues migrating to a Mac.
