      Pros

      This is really a very easy, informal, and non stressful job. There is very little to no phone work required. Time off, for vacation or sick time, is consistent with all other federal positions. The atmosphere is generally laid back, and the building is pretty nice.

      Cons

      Management is largely irrational, but generally nice. I guess it is fairly consistent with the level of work; since it's very uncomplicated, the qualifications to supervise it must not be very high. Each manager seemed to care about numbers and meeting requirements.

      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.
