Pros

Time off. TSP (government 401k).

Cons

Most everything else. Poorly run. Top heavy. Us vs. them mentality. A treasure trove of EEO material. Beware of working at any campus (10 in all) and if you are a gambling sort and willing to give this agency a shot be very careful of where you place yourself. If you are interviewed by your potential manager interview him/her with the same zeal that they will interview you. Also note the government seemingly hates all federal employees these days. Best of luck to all who venture to the IRS. There's been a hiring freeze for a number of years and when they do get budget for new hires they tend to hire more managers (just who are they managing?). Assuming you are not connected look elsewhere (also Washington DC is the best place to seek a federal career).

Pros

Pay, benefits, dental, 401k, night shift pay

Cons

Seasonal, night shift, training if you have no family, children ect, this shift can work for you. Tons of overweight people work here because they over eat and tied the phones all night and than go home and pig out and sleep, repeat again.
