Pros

Get your foot in the door for future positions and possible career. Above average pay to start and just goes up every time you work there. Great benefits and work environment. Work is basic paper filing and processing mail to each department.

Cons

Counting papers or processing mail all day tends to get boring at times but is sure better then breaking your back outside or dealing with rude customers for minimum wage. If you ever busted your behind you'll think its not so bad as you thought an well worth it.

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.
