      No advancement opportunity.

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule, time off, able to work from home, benefits are good, public transportation subsidy, day shift and no weekend work.

      Cons

      No advancement opportunity due to budget cuts. Surrounded by lazy and ignorant individuals who are in their positions because they have been there so long and won't retire. Managers are for the most part incompetent, only care about themselves and do not know how to manage work or personnel. They could easily get rid of the dead weight, promote the good people and save the American taxpayer billions per year. But, government work doesn't make sense and it's never going to improve.

      Pros

      Great way to get your foot in the door working for the government. Great work life balance. Remote work is being enforce more over the next few years.

      Cons

      Climbing the ladder is not merit based, but rather time serviced. Work can become redundant and its hard to move around once stuck in a job series and grade. Th

      Pros

      Benefits, pay, hours, retirement benefits

      Cons

      Even though government employees are not supposed to discuss politics, I had several very liberal managers who were always bashing Republicans. Additionally, I felt like I had to be in the union to protect myself from incompetent managers. The managers made it into management because early on when they should have been fired, the union helped them. They learned how to use the system and IRS was afraid not to promote them.
