Pros

The pay is very good and the training is thorough and interesting. Your co-workers are very good to interact with and also willing to help.

Cons

You are not allowed to advance if you are good at your job as a Contact Representative. Because not many people want to stay at that level, management will try to hinder your advancement or transfer.

Pros

Job security if you don't do things you are repeatedly warned not to do.

Cons

The IRS employees as a whole are the largest group of unprofessional annoying, rude, miserable, unhealthy, and often alcoholic, group of employees I've ever seen or worked with. They are hired often because they have family that work there! Not because they even necessarily meet the minimal requirements that are supposedly required for the job I.e. 4 years of college or equivalent experience. How does a 19 year old who can't even do her own work have that experience? No, her mom actually illegally does some of her daughter's work! Goodbye taxpayer privacy. The employees have never seemed to care about this country. It's not even part of the several months long training to mention once that we should be out are serving our country. And every day thousands of dollars go out to Identity Thieves. All day. Every day. And obviously.
