      Important work assuring that taxpayers pay their fair share and that money comes into Treasury for the Government

      Pros

      I love the work/life balance; even as a senior manager I work reasonable hours. Great people work here--dedicated, ethical, honest, and doing the best they can when large taxpayers hold most of the chips.

      Cons

      Political and regular beatings (figuratively) from Congress. I've worked here 20 years and it's the worse it's ever been as far as the politicians beating up the agency. With ongoing cuts in funding pay raises have been small, furloughs (days off without pay) happened last year and there's no money for training. We cannot hire and so we are doing less with less. Not smart for the equivalent of the accounts receivable department for the government.

      Better than you'd expect, but still filled with govt red tape

      Secretary (although i was not - it kept salary lower)

      Pros

      I really enjoyed the people I worked with. I was in a small office with maybe 12 people. We all got along and worked really hard (despite what most people think ). There are plenty of bad gov't workers, just as there are bad civilian workers. We just get picked on more. I had a relaxed boss so she was flexible with our schedules and she looked out for us as much as she could.

      Cons

      Although a small office is a plus for the most part, I didn't really have anywhere to grow unless I wanted to move to a larger office in the city and I didn't want to add nearly an hour commute. When the govt cronies in Washington can't get along, we suffer with no pay increases (not even cost of living), and furloughs, when all we want to do is our jobs.
