Pros

- Work only 8 hours and go home - Benefits - Tax knowledge - Vacation time - Job security - There is always parking available in the parking lot.

Cons

- The job itself is awful - Stressful - Extreme Micro Management - Local and higher management are incompetent - Bad procedures and processes - Bad employer/ employer relationship - The department is always right... no matter what! - Pay is awful! Some janitors and many cashiers make more than you will in your first 3 to 6 years as a tax auditor. - Really old technology - Too many manual processes - Interpretation of laws is really inconsistent among staff and management - Staff are not important to management - The voices of staff are not on management's priority - like fair pay. - Poor available resources for staff - Unfair practices of state labor laws that benefit the department - Awful pay - Stressful - A lot of micromanagement - The union is useless - The pension and benefits for incoming staff are significantly reduced. - Expectation from staff to use personal resources and very broken processes to receive reimbursement. - Little to no hope of career growth - No room to move up the career ladder - Just all around, an awful job all together.
