Pros

The let you use a desk and a computer. They train you, if you can call it "training." Basically you learn by trial and error. Mostly error. They give you 1/2 hour for lunch and 2 breaks. Sometimes someone will bring cake. The office is nice and warm all the time. The administrative staff support are bottom feeders. Did you ever see Gilligan's Island. It's kind of like that. Stranded and not funny.

Cons

Imagine working at the worst place you could ever imagine with the worst people you could ever imagine. Don't get too comfortable with your digs, cause they will move you several times a month. Training consists of basically no information. Pay is very low and coworkers are bottom feeders.

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.
