Pros
I was between a rock and a hard place during the pandemic. I was hired on here right before the pandemic. I started a few months into the pandemic. The IRS does have a very bad reputation. From very concerning social situations, improper employee and manager conduct, and very stressful situations. However, this job was also a blessing. I had stable employment during the pandemic and did not haft to worry about being laid off. Having a steady paycheck is really nice when everyone else is laid off.. My word of advice. This is a good holding position. Stay here from 8-12 months. Get good experience, and figure out next steps within your career. It's very stable and it allows that. But please don't linger to long.
Cons
Keep in mind my experience is not the same as other employees. During the pandemic the stress was high. Management couldn't keep people, and at the time there was a hiring freeze. People began to crack mentally.
