* Easy going work environment with competitive pay and benefits. * Co-workers are friendly. * Development can work from home at least 50% of the time.

Cons

* Starting Jan 15th 2015, as a condition of continued employment, all associates are required to have their taxes done by HRB. They are also now required to have and use HRBs emerald pre-paid debit card. * Very little accountability; meaning everything is someone else's problem.

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
