Pros

They have great benefits, PTO gives you vacation and sick leave accrual. The pay is good especially if you have been there awhile

Cons

Current administration is trying to dismantle policies, stress of dealing with the changes. Many staff members left and work loads doubled. In some ways it’s good because we had no work before. Weak training programs, they look for volunteers to train people and most don’t want to.

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.
