Pros

One can at least be aware of big transfer pricing projects, although generally people in the role are no longer offered any authority to participate in those projects except as scribes who draft letters to taxpayers and foreign governments.

Cons

Ever--decreasing resources combined with ever-increasing workload. Increasingly, managers are appointed based on longevity, not on technical or leadership skill. Terrible working facilities--cubicles, mice, armed guards, failing equipment, failing infrastructure. Decreasing responsibility in the role. Subordination to administrative staff who are generally illiterate.

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.
