Pros

I was in the Advance Pricing Agreements program formerly run by IRS Counsel's office but now under the Commissioner of Revenue. There was a great professionalism and collegiality at the work place and we had a good bit of professional independence in handling our cases. I learned a lot during the first five years and enjoyed my work very much.

Cons

As the program expanded, the level of bureaucracy increased and moves towards standardization of our work product took away from the satisfaction one derived from work. This got worse (more bureaucratic) when the program was moved under the Commissioner of Revenue and from what I hear, the level of morale is pretty low.

Pros

Great overall company with good benefit package along with flexible schedules and great vacation and personal time.

Cons

Not a good company to advance career quickly due to time-in-grade requirements (tenure) verses ones advancement based on actual performance.

Pros

Benefits were not too bad.

Cons

No idea as to how long before you would get a perm full time position, could take up to 5 or more years. Had to work 4 pm - 1:30 am and go through bad parts of city. Were always the first to be furloughed and they did it often.
