Pros

Because our culture is one that balances work and life, there are many interesting people who work here. They volunteer significantly outside of work. They have 2nd jobs. They are NOT just working drones. I also love that we care about people and you get time off when needed to take care of family issues. The work is also very interesting--I manage people working on large corporate audits and there's always something new.

Cons

No monies for basic things--as a manager we are expected to buy treats at meetings for example. Also, we are so guided by politics--what the lawmakers do in Washington significantly impact our work on a daily basis.

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.
