A good place to work and grow in your field
Tax Compliance Officer (Former Employee), Long Beach, CA – June 11, 2013
Pros: job benefits (medical, dental, life insurance), flexible job hours, co-workers
Cons: massive paperwork
In working my many years at IRS (over 30), I have learned how to funcrion under time restaints, improving my time management skill. I have also learned to deal with working with a diverse group of people, both co-workers and tax payers. It helped me to be more patient and caring toward each person, because everyone's background and temperment is different. – more... A typical day at work involves setting up my computer for todays work, checking my calendar to see what appointments (if any) I may have or what other work assignments or meetings I may have for that day, then I start by working my assignments. I usually get along with management and my co-workers very well. It helps if you have a good relationship with both, for future help that may be needed or working in teams for certain projects.
The hardest and most complex part of the job for me was the massive amount of paperwork that is needed for each casefile, it takes a ridiculous amount of time to prepare, and adds time to the casefile, whereas prior to having everything computerized, we did it by hand, and took less time. I am all for the updated technology, but when it adds time to cases, it sometimes seems as though it depleats its purpose.
The most enjoyable part of the job is the poeple I have to work with, mainly the co-workers. I was fortunate enough to have a good group of people to work with mostly everywhere I went. – less

Stable Work
Seasonal Data Transcriber (Current Employee), Fresno, CA – June 6, 2013
Pros: on-site banking & cafeteria, plenty of bathrooms
Cons: too difficult to gain in-house promotions despite working there for over 14 years.
It's a decent place to work once you become a career staffer. Before that it's a nightmare of red tape and flaming hoops, most of which are placed too highly for the average person to leap through successfully.

Lead Customer Service Representative (Current Employee), Kansas City, MO – June 4, 2013
Pros: great pay
Cons: high healthcare
A typically day is busy, which I enjoy. Never a dull moment. Fast pace where your brain gets a lot of exercise. I have learned more regarding management skills here. The hardest part of my job would be others taking guidance as criticism. The most enjoyable part of my job is those who accept help and understand it only makes them better.

Excellent opportunity to learn about the IRS in general.
Telecomm Specialist (Former Employee), Ogden, UT – June 4, 2013
The 2 yrs I worked in the IRS were a great learning experience, I'd do it again in a heartbeat. My two supervisors were great to work with, they were pretty flexible when needed. I don't have any complaints regarding my coworkers. The hardest part of the job was after my shoulder surgery, trying to reach for cables and cords, or having to try to crawl – more... underneath a desk. At the end of the day, the best part of it was that I got to be part of a great organization, if only for a brief moment. – less

Government Intern
Intern (Former Employee), 1111 Constitution Avenue – June 1, 2013
Pros: friendly workplace, legit and official expertise
Cons: nondescriptive assigning, not specifying duties
Working has an intern in the IRS was a great learning experience. Learning much about tax and legitimate law actions that take place within the service. Although it was a year of employment, I learned how to assign very difficult cases, manage confidential files within taxes and other litigation sessions. I most certainly appreciated working their and – more... have a firm understanding to where and what type of workplace I can be in. Much of my peers were not as helpful and descriptive to the flow of the workplace. My main issues was understanding my major acquirements within the workplace. Other than supervisors not being descriptive of much of the work I was need to do, I enjoyed it working for them. – less
