Pros

Not a whole lot. I truly can't think of any right now. You will get better pay and treated better literally anywhere else

Cons

Penny wise and dollar dumb. They fire receptionists and individual store managers the same day we close stores. Individual store managers were told on a meeting at 10am that this was also their last day and they had until 1pm to pack up their offices for closing. This is all still while we are seeing clients, taking payments, and getting walk ins. It means as a leader covering 3 stores, you effectively have to be in 3 places at once. And you'll never be recognized for this crazy balancing act they force upon their employees. So there is a massive labor shortage that Multi-Unit team leaders need to deal with. Extremely tough on overtime. Even when it is desperately needed, you will not be allowed any overtime during peak season. Management that simply does not care about their employees. This company is anything but proactive. They have a knee-jerk reaction to everything and it is very disorganized. Frankly, I would tell people to RUN and let consumers know they will be far better off doing Turbo Tax on their own. Leaders do not make visits to retail locations. They all work remote. But as a Multi-Unit team leader, I am not allowed to do anything from home. The double standards are insane.

Pros

Up to date Tax knowledge

Cons

Company rolls out a new products and new ways of doing things every year, offers little training, huge expectations and does not give the tools to execute plan. And they expect a ton out of elderly tax pro’s for less and less money every season.

Pros

On paper, the pay is alright. There are real opportunities for career advancement. Salary pay guarantees steady paycheck January-May.

Cons

Training and support from leadership was wanting. Instead of coaching conversations, they basically tell you "get good" and ignore your calls. They make it extremely clear that the Tax Pros are the only ones that matter. Your job is to wrangle them and get them to force additional products on their clients. Job is seasonal, and in the pre-season your compensation is roughly half of your salaried role. Do you like having any days off? Forget it. You will know zero peace between January and May. $1200 per week is good money, unless you have to work 7+ hours every single day of the week to get it. There are no weekends. There are no scheduled days off. There is no support from upper management. You are constantly on-call, but not compensated for it in any way. The high rate of turnover for receptionists guarantees at least 3-5 calls every day to your personal phone. Just got done working your fifth 10-hour shift in a row to fix office problems that your manager neglected to mention for the past 3 months? Well, the document scanner failed to load half of the client files. Looks like you're dumpster diving in the secure shred bin. Have fun!
