      Pros

      Many field positions in the IRS give those employees the opportunity to interact with the public, this responsibility is a very important task, done properly within the scope of the law it provides for many positive interactions, even if the purpose of the contact is initiated under difficult circumstances.

      Cons

      As mentioned in the positive aspect's some contacts become quite adversarial, if you do not have the proper demeanor to handle difficult contacts the job could be quite stressful & unsatisfying.

      Pros

      No over time, so you have plenty of time to spend with family. Great benefits. After gaining some experience, you get the opportunity to work cases with larger potential of fraud. Competitive pay.

      Cons

      Most people hate you and don't want to talk to you. Mostly decent Management, but some had a tendency to micromanage Agents' cases.

      Working at the IRS

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The best reason to work here is that as long as you do your job, there is littke chance of being laid off. The pension is good. We have a good health insurance policy, TSP,flexible spending accounts. Leave or vacation can usually be taken at any time ehrn there is no pending prioity if management is advised of your vaacation needs.

      Cons

      In my area there is liitle room for promotion, as promotions in your area are difficult to obtain, anf it is not easy to move to a new department. Raises are not based on merit. Raises come from Congress where there this encourages a "get by Philosophy". You can get an annual bonus award, but this is a small percentage of yoyr salary.
