Pros

The pay is decent, colleagues are great and and many have been there 10+ years Taxes prepared for free The work is t hard to learn

Cons

Management not terribly appreciative of employees Things change on the fly, peak season is chaos with client no shows, angry over prices or because their tax preparer isn’t available when they want… you will watch grown people turn into children having tantrums because of not getting their way

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.
