Pros
I got along quite well with most all the employees. There is a decent effort to try and make the monotonous sales experience more manageable. If you're into energy drinks, caffeine, nicotene, and/or smelling salts they'll provide that for you too! Anything to keep your energy going...
Cons
Working at TaxRise has been a disappointing experience to say the least. The term "revolving door" doesn't even begin to capture the high turnover and lack of job security here. Employees are constantly coming and going, making it difficult to form any sense of camaraderie or team cohesion. Mistakes, no matter how minor, are not tolerated. Rather than using errors as teachable moments, they are grounds for immediate termination. This creates a culture of fear that stifles creativity and hinders performance. The management team only adds to the stress. Some of the higher-ups seem more interested in flexing their authority than in fostering a healthy work environment. The pervasive feeling is that you're constantly under surveillance, both in what you say and what you do. It's as if you're walking on eggshells every moment you're on the clock. In summary, if you're looking for a stable job where you can grow professionally and personally, TaxRise likely isn't the place for you.
