Love the job just needs better training - Appeals Officer IRS Employee Review

This review is based on my experience prior to the reduction in force. This place was a great place to work. There were a lot of new employees, training was good, and supervisors were understanding. However, a lot of things change due to the reduction in workforce starting to take place.

The enjoy of the job as heavyly depending on the supervior you are assigned to, but most of the superviosr at this office were good.

-Got me started in my career as an auditor -thorough tax law training -many senior auditors helping you learn the profession

-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.
