Pros

Education - learned a lot in the course, but for $150 you can take it many places.

Cons

$9 / hour regardless of experience - they say you are "in training" your first year. If an employee isn't worth more than $9/hr they shouldn't be doing taxes! they push you to sell products to people who really don't need them they have a 2-year noncompete agreement that they sneak in at the last minute they frequently schedule "mandatory" events that span for just a couple of hours, many unpaid with very short notice They don't tell you all the hoops you will have to jump through up front - there are many

Pros

If you get in the right office you can have amazing coworkers and can learn so much. You can gain a ton of experience and knowledge if you are willing to work and collaborate with other preparers. Training is robust and is there for you to utilize and work your way up to higher salary. The potential to earn a full years salary working for half the year once trained up to a higher level and build your book of business.

Cons

Communication is often not the best and in the offseason you are off boarded or get reduced salary and only work a day or two a week
