Pros

Fun, fast paced, seasonal job. Perfect for some but not for all. Access to continuing education. Mostly awesome co-workers and clients!

Cons

All levels of management above ATL. Only ones that know ANYTHING about taxes are the tax preparers. The further up the management ladder you go, the less they know about taxes and how things work. Unrealistic demands put on employees from upper management. The care seems to focus on the bottom line numbers for their bonuses rather than the tax preparers and clients making those numbers and bonuses possible.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
