Pros

Generally a good place to work. Most of my supervisors throughout my career have been great to work with. Most employees enjoy the work that we do and take the concept of public trust to heart in all that we do.

Cons

Public opinion IRS is not good because of the small few. Tax laws are confusing and many we don't agree with but Congress passes the laws, we just administer them. Smaller budgets every year and employee retirements are making it tough. We have been pushed to do more with less for years. The best way lower taxes is to beef up enforcement to ensure that everyone pays their fair share.

Pros

It's lost a lot of the perks that drew me in the first place. The floor level people are very supportive of one another. But that's human nature.

Cons

The management is, in a reciprocation of the trope, an 'old girls club.' The criteria for those that want to get in is to 'not be threatening or easily controlled'. Everyone else is either forced out through the coordinated gatekeeping of the club, or waited out as most of the management is a temporary assignment. For the past two years I've been promised help and guidance, and I receive none. It's hard to be willing to help on special assignments when I'm punished for doing them in the first place.
