      Pros

      None, worst experience of my entire career. Public accounting was far better. Yes, you barely have to work, but when you do you are watched by TIGTA so closely. You are in constant fear of doing something wrong that you are paralyzed from actually getting any work done.

      Cons

      Worst environment to work in. Management is horrible, actual work is beyond boring, and the coworkers are extremely dim whitted (a result increased by tenure).

      Pros

      Job security. This agency is never going away, because it funds every Federal activity. It is an instructive lesson in organizational behavior and how hard many diligent people work and can accomplish in the face of unrealistic budgets and challenges. Stopping a tide of fraud that is rising will be directly correlated with funding and resources, and the new commissioner seems to have gotten that message. Hopefully Congress is listening.

      Cons

      The phone is used as a time clock, and increasingly, time pressure is being applied to situations that are involved for taxpayers, the customers. Telling people where you work is a party killer, so don't! Implementation of Affordable Care Act will increase frustration for taxpayers and lead to more antagonism is the agency.
