Vantaggi
Compensation is good for a call center with hourly pay at $16.95 per hour for 2nd shift hours. Excellent group health insurance benefits and a good 401K plan. Seasonal Employees are guaranteed 6 to 8 months of employment per year, but usually work 10 to 12 months per year. IRS employees are given the opportunity to apply for other jobs including full time permanent positions. The IRS does not discriminate when hiring employees. There is no mandatory retirement age at the IRS.
Svantaggi
Since Seasonal IRS Jobs are not guaranteed for the full year, during furlough the employee is required to look for several new jobs every week to collect unemployment insurance. Seasonal employment with the IRS should not be considered for people who need a permanent full time job for the entire yeard.. Training is inadequate for employees to do the jobs efficiently. It can be very stressful for employees to work at a job they do not fully understand. There is very high turnover of employees in Seasonal Positions.
