Pros

benefits and time off. grade raises every year for first 3 years and then step increases after that. was nice when we had cost of living increases each year but the president took that away for the last 3 years. heard we may get it this year however but we will see.

Cons

managers think they own the place. some dont even let you talk to your co workers although they dont do anything but talk to each other.

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.
