Pros

Low-cost online educational material is excellent for those who are self-motivated. Working with clients and developing relationships is very rewarding. Being able to work just the tax season is ideal for some.

Cons

Dishonesty, unethical practices, and back-stabbing were prevalent among district management.and some office managers. Regular turnover of district managers and tax professionals. Required to sit through hours of non-productive "skills training" at minimum wage compensation rate, regardless of you year of experience. Tax professionals are not treated well -- the best and brightest are often required to work for free. Work schedule is inconsistent and regularly changed. Company does not seem have a clear direction. They change their focus and marketing strategy every year.

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
