      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly, low-key environment with good benefits, vacation, and telework policies. People can bank time for alternative schedules. Union cares. The work is meaningful. Revenue agents always have opportunities to learn and investigate ask questions and learn. The pay competes with the private sector at the undergrad level, but at the graduate degree level, private sector pay wins. Flex time is useful.

      Cons

      Moves slower than private sector and at senior levels pays less, but some like the trade off. Tech is old an needs to be modernized. Technology and management change comes very slowly. People have a poor view of the IRS. Budget freezes limit opportunities to hire and improve technology.

      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.
