CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

There is paid parking, employees are only required to work a small amount of overtime.

Cons

The Office of Independent Internal Audit has a hostile work environment. Staff and low-level managers are constantly harassed and treated with extreme disrespect and the morale is the lowest of any job I've ever worked. Everyone hates being at work, so the mood is depressing. Human Resources does not allow employees to contact them, so there is no protection for employees. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this place!
