Pros

Job security if you don't do things you are repeatedly warned not to do.

Cons

The IRS employees as a whole are the largest group of unprofessional annoying, rude, miserable, unhealthy, and often alcoholic, group of employees I've ever seen or worked with. They are hired often because they have family that work there! Not because they even necessarily meet the minimal requirements that are supposedly required for the job I.e. 4 years of college or equivalent experience. How does a 19 year old who can't even do her own work have that experience? No, her mom actually illegally does some of her daughter's work! Goodbye taxpayer privacy. The employees have never seemed to care about this country. It's not even part of the several months long training to mention once that we should be out are serving our country. And every day thousands of dollars go out to Identity Thieves. All day. Every day. And obviously.

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.
