Pros

Government job with federal benefits. No dress code so wear whatever you want, trust me weird people here. Someboday was wearing a full Panada pajama like outfit. LOL.

Cons

Poor management, no room to move up. Pay is low for what is expected. Be ready to be graded and measured on everything you do, when you make a mistake its like the world ends. They dont care if you.call off constantly, there is no punishment. Facilities are still in the 80's, old ventilation that causes people to cough and sneeze all the time.

Pros

-Got me started in my career as an auditor -thorough tax law training -many senior auditors helping you learn the profession

Cons

-communication from management is not always transparent -when you are at the bottom of the ladder, you get verbal abuse from not only POA and taxpayers (understandable, given this is the IRS), but also management/OJI's. They want to look good to their bosses and will throw you under the bus if they have to in order to save themselves. Even if they gave you instructions that got you in trouble. They SHOULD be supporting you in your function as an auditor, but they'll do whatever is easiest for themselves ultimately. -on job training can be disorganized -bureaucratic culture -like many other companies, a lot of things you're expected to learn by yourself. Such as how to avoid POA delays.
