Pros

Benefits and Accrued time off for Sick & Annual every pay period.

Cons

If you are claustrophobic don’t work for the “C-Site” location. It’s in a cave. You also have no cell service. This location also requires climbing ladders up to a full story. If you have a heights issue, it’s not for you. Horrible Management. Favoritism. Growth and moving up only happens based on who you know and who’s butt you kiss and how hard. This is the same for both the Downtown campus and C-Cite. The management will not correct or punish those who have passed their probation period, are minority, or have relatives working there as well. If you are white.. they will go after you first. Lots of Fake, back stabbing, lazy employees. The hard workers get pushed out and are targeted for this. LOTS AND LOTS OF DRAMA!! Clicks. The Union “NTEU” is the same. They protect who they like. With the management being buddy buddy with many.. you won’t have a chance. The management memorizes the Handbook and know how to work the system to cover their bums. This is why it’s great for “High Schoolers” Shutdowns are bad. You might be forced to work with no pay. And you have to show up or you will be terminated.

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.
