Pros

They have great benefits, potential for growth, continuing education, you got lots of training. Overall, I had a great learning experience, I learned a lot about the rules and regulations and how to file my own tax return.

Cons

I did not like the fact that you were being watched all the time. You could not take more than five minutes in the bathroom because you had your manager looking for you. It was almost like being treated like a child, we had to sign a sheet if you had to go to the bathroom, put the time you left and the time you came back!!!

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.
