Pros

I am 90% independent, I make my own schedule, I decide how to work my cases, and negotiate the best resolution. There is a generous amount of time off, the health benefits are pretty good, and the retirement is not too bad either.

Cons

Occasionally working uncooperative people, Congress is attacking us currently

Pros

Some of the people are very dedicated to public service. Some great co-workers in the research community.

Cons

Management is pretty bad. Promotions to management based on experience working at IRS, not necessarily on management skills. Very hard to try anything new. Morale is terrible given the political controversies, pay freeze, budget cuts.

Pros

One of the best reasons to work there is every department is like a mini team and everyone looks out for their teammates, making sure we are all on the same page.

Cons

The biggest challenge for most people is that the location is just to far and isolated. The hours for this department are difficult to handle.
