Pros

Smart funny fellow employees, decent benefits, interesting work, decent pay.

Cons

Dangerous case work, TIGTA, RRA98, TAO, Appeals.People hate you at parties and always want to tell you about some horror story, your CCW is not honored by the agency. The agency won't fight for you to have confidential plates, the worst most incompetent employees often are the only ones crazy enough to apply for management, there are exceptions to this but with the terrible structure a Grade 12 RO can make more that a Grade 13 manager due to travel/per diem. The job is very stressful.

Pros

-Got me started in my career as an auditor -thorough tax law training -many senior auditors helping you learn the profession

Cons

-communication from management is not always transparent -when you are at the bottom of the ladder, you get verbal abuse from not only POA and taxpayers (understandable, given this is the IRS), but also management/OJI's. They want to look good to their bosses and will throw you under the bus if they have to in order to save themselves. Even if they gave you instructions that got you in trouble. They SHOULD be supporting you in your function as an auditor, but they'll do whatever is easiest for themselves ultimately. -on job training can be disorganized -bureaucratic culture -like many other companies, a lot of things you're expected to learn by yourself. Such as how to avoid POA delays.
