Pros

Benefits were ok and so was the pay. Some managers were better than others.

Cons

They don't care if you have a family...you belong to them and have to report to work even if you are sick or family is sick. They also will not grant admin leave for adverse weather. I had to take my own leave most of the time when it took me 4 hours to get to work. I left at 0530 to get there by 0800 so that should have been plenty of time...they wanted me to leave earlier and I could not when spouse was deployed.

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.
