Pros

You get time off for both annual/sick. Work schedule is flexible where you can work 4 days if you have a longer compute

Cons

So much drama, especially those who are nearing retirement. Some of the loudest people feel the need to broadcast their conversations when they are within inches of each other. Whenever someone has their friend chit chat with them, they will have conversations forever while someone is trying to get work done. Temperature regulation is bad in the building that can sometimes feel like winter. Restrooms are gross for the night shift You got some employees who think they are in charge of their unit when they barely know how to do the job they were hired for

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.
