Pros

Meaningful work as a revenue agent and always learning new things. Benefits are good and pay is good with just a bachelor's degree. However higher accreditation, CPA or MS in tax, can earn more in the private sector. Good benefits but that may change with future legislation. Forty hour work weeks. Teleworking and flexible start and end times are also great.

Cons

Technology is out of date. Change comes very slowly. Public perception of IRS employees is generally very negative and you face this daily as a revenue agent. Budget constraints.

Pros

This is a independent position. It is on your feet 8 hours and has a quota to meet that is not realistic. It is a job that requires NO thinking. It is very assembly line and routine. It is a perfect job for an order take,

Cons

NO CREATIVITY. THE SEASONS GET SHORTER EVERY YEAR> VERY HARD TO MOVE/

Pros

Work life balance. Pension is at least par. Good selection of Health insurance.

Cons

Technology and methods are at least 10 years behind the curve. It is as dysfunctional as any large corporate environment you have ever been in. Senior management and executives are never in a position long enough to make a difference.
