Pros

Roth TSP option is a phenomenal benefit, three weeks vacation time after 3 years, generous sick leave, option to telework between 3 days a week. If you work hard, there's potential to do influential, meaningful work

Cons

Government efficiency, ROAD (Retired on Active Duty) employees, difficult to get a promotion if you're a midlevel (GS-11/12) worker in the DC region. If you don't work hard (and nothing, including management direction or incentives compels you to), then days can drag.

Pros

Government job provides stability. A great benefits package. Tools and resources are abundant. New campus provides for a positive work environment.

Cons

I was fortunate to be on a team with a great work leader, great manager, and great peers. HOWEVER, it is a highly dysfunctional negative work environment if you are unlucky enough to be in the wrong department!

Pros

The IRS provides all the necessary tools for a new employees (even temps) to learn and perform their jobs. Classroom training and on the job instructions was very helpful. Electronic manuals in order to continue to do your job is also a plus.

Cons

Top management stands behind department managers even when the department managers are wrong. The department managers can do no wrong. Employees that have been there a long time are lax and do not do as much work as the new employees and they will tell management what they will and will not do. Top management needs to stop standing up for their department managers and listen to the employees if they want to keep a good workforce. Department managers will also try to make good employees look bad. It is as if they feel a motivated, hard working new employee are trying to take their position. Department managers will also black ball you so that you can not move into another position or be hired permanently within the organization.
