Pros

Health insurance. Sick leave. Vacation leave. Retirement plan.

Cons

I worked there many years and should have done anything else, but this job fit my work/life balance so I stayed. The place is just nuts. You get hired, receive little to no training, then they threaten to fire you because you’re not meeting performance standards. Evening/night shift is like reality tv, literal fights between rival coworkers, employees drinking alcohol & smoking pot in the garage. Managers sit in their offices and do nothing but gossip with their friends. It’s an awful place to work.

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.
