Pros

First year is filled with training and independent work, depending on employee aptitude. You are paired with a more experienced Revenue Officer who provides training. I was part of a wonderfully supportive team. Any manager or more experienced RO spoken to would be more than willing to provide assistance. No micro-managing unless time is unaccounted for, employees curate their own schedules to resolve their workload.

Cons

Workload is high and can get away from you if you do not remain diligent. Not eligible for telework opportunities until after successful performance in first year.

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.
