Pros

Generally a good place to work. Most of my supervisors throughout my career have been great to work with. Most employees enjoy the work that we do and take the concept of public trust to heart in all that we do.

Cons

Public opinion IRS is not good because of the small few. Tax laws are confusing and many we don't agree with but Congress passes the laws, we just administer them. Smaller budgets every year and employee retirements are making it tough. We have been pushed to do more with less for years. The best way lower taxes is to beef up enforcement to ensure that everyone pays their fair share.

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.
