Pros

Worked for 30 years as a revenue agent. People I worked with were professional, knowledgeable and dedicated. Training use to be top notch. Basically received a masters in taxation when initially hired. Work life was great. Woman receive equal pay and do to EEOC laws minorities and woman have a better than average chance of promotions.

Cons

Because of budget cuts, training is now virtually nonexistent, promotions are limited and supplies are tough to come by. Managers aren't alway the best. Although, I was fortunate to have good ones during my career.

Pros

Most of the people I worked with were great. I learned a lot about taxes through the great training that they used to have and there used to be room for advancement

Cons

Most of the above has changed. No room for advancement because of the hiring freeze that has been in place for the last 3 years, and the training dollars have been cut substantially.
