Pros

Good benefits, pay, facilities, upward mobility if you die to your emotions, become a robot and live with being a doormat

Cons

Management doesn't know how to resolve problems, diffuse stressful situations in an already stressful environment. Management deals very heavy-handedly with subordinates while protecting each other. If they don't like an opinion or the way it's presented, they will go behind your back and put together a case against an employee and spring it on them in a surprise attack whether they're right or wrong. Sometimes they will rescind employee action after employee action, taking many months in the process, until they think they can finally harm the employee. They threaten to harm employees to suppress freedom of speech even if the position of the employee is correct.

Pros

-Got me started in my career as an auditor -thorough tax law training -many senior auditors helping you learn the profession

Cons

-communication from management is not always transparent -when you are at the bottom of the ladder, you get verbal abuse from not only POA and taxpayers (understandable, given this is the IRS), but also management/OJI's. They want to look good to their bosses and will throw you under the bus if they have to in order to save themselves. Even if they gave you instructions that got you in trouble. They SHOULD be supporting you in your function as an auditor, but they'll do whatever is easiest for themselves ultimately. -on job training can be disorganized -bureaucratic culture -like many other companies, a lot of things you're expected to learn by yourself. Such as how to avoid POA delays.
