Pros

The healthcare and benefits including a pension worth say 25% of your final salary and a 5% match for the 401k is great. The work life balance is the best I’ve ever had. The work financial modeling and business appraisal review is challenging and rewarding.

Cons

I was promised remote work four days a week after one year when I was hired. The Trump administration nixed that even though my division has been remote for 20+ years. We’ve had an exodus of qualified employees since Trump started cutting with no regard for systems and processes or tax compliance. Morale is awful.

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.
