Pros

One can at least be aware of big transfer pricing projects, although generally people in the role are no longer offered any authority to participate in those projects except as scribes who draft letters to taxpayers and foreign governments.

Cons

Ever--decreasing resources combined with ever-increasing workload. Increasingly, managers are appointed based on longevity, not on technical or leadership skill. Terrible working facilities--cubicles, mice, armed guards, failing equipment, failing infrastructure. Decreasing responsibility in the role. Subordination to administrative staff who are generally illiterate.

Pros

Regular incremental raises, pick shift you'd like to work first or second, regulate your own breaks, can have minimal interaction with others if desired, paid leave,

Cons

Can be strict depending on management, tough standards to maintain, must work 40 hrs, monotonous work that often doesn't make any sense as to what you should do, the manual for policies changes daily and employee is responsible for the changes and gets errors on record if mistakes are made, sharing desks, hostile and tense work environment with often weird peers and terrible employee accommodations for breaks especially, other departments may have better but ours are terrible, not laid back at all!
