Tax Associate

Pros

- Relaxed work environment for a desk job - Learn how to do basic tax returns and will forever be able to do your own - Able to interact with a variety of clients - Able to have free continuing education to be promoted. First year associate pay is just an hourly rate. If you take more classes to get further education, then you earn commission which can be a decent amount of money for the spring.

Cons

- Did not receive enough education for the type of tax returns I had to do. No joke I often had to go on the IRS website to look up tax code while a client was in front of me. - Did not receive feedback on my performance or if I performed any of the returns wrong - Telling clients the price was by far the worst part. Commonly I would perform a return for someone in less than an hour, and the system would come up with an absurd price of $300. - Having to promote their other products along with the already high tax return price
