Pros

Work from home; IT Services were patient and helpful

Cons

Bureaucratic (obviously); difficult to get a hold of people; the IRS has had a 20% budget cut over the course of the last ten years, meaning they are doing more with less, which stresses everyone out; they lied to me about my pay. As someone with an MPA, I was entitled to start as a GS9 (70K/yr) but I was hired as a GS5, making less than 40K. My HR person said it was because an MPA didn’t qualify, which was flat out wrong and I had to explain to her that the job posting CLEARLY said an MPA does, in fact, qualify; issue was not resolved

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.
