Pros

Easy interview, desperate to hire

Cons

There is a reason they are desperate to hire Nepotistic ego-tripping toxic managers who live to degrade, humiliate, and bully everyone under their power. Environment of fear, brown-nosing, bullying, and harassment. Management are power tripping and will make you miserable if they don't like you, and managers support other managers and no one else will help you, they protect their own and will throw you under the bus. 1 year probation period where you have no rights, and can't work from home, not even hybrid, not even in situations where it would make sense for everyone like weather events, sickness, etc. They don't train you well enough, make you guess how to do your job, scream at you if you do some bureaucratic petty little detail wrong, won't explain how to fix it, won't tell you what they want, every manager wants it done a different way so you can't get any answer on how to do it, they just want to make you feel small and stupid so they can get off. Meanwhile they are wasting taxpayer money to fan their own ego and live out their dreams of bullying people without accountability or recourse.

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.
