Pros

Probably one of the few, if not the only 40 hrs a week job for tax professionals. Minimal supervision. Good benefits. Learn a lot about tax laws and tax research. Salaries COMPARABLE(not so competitive)to big accounting firms but due to only 40 hrs a week, more $/hr

Cons

Not necessarily the most beloved govt agency. Easy to be vilified by the public. Budget constraints. Dumb Congress

Pros

Steady work during tax season for seasonal workers. Casual dress and laid-back environment. No Weekends or overtime. Offers 401k and holiday pay, as well as paid time off.

Cons

Limited time for learning curve, then you can be subject to lower reviews.
