Pros

There is access to a wealth of information regarding tax law and code. Help is available for more complex tax questions.

Cons

The pay is less than satisfactory for a Bachelor's Degree holder. Also, in my experince, some managers tend to treat lower level employes as expenable, which is disappointing.

Pros

Blocks continuing training in tax law is excellent. You can easily pile up a couple hundred hours in training if motivated to do so. The other "pro" would be you can probably set your own hours.

Cons

Low pay, poor benefits. Not enough financial incentive for this to be anything but "extra money". They want you to go out and find your own clients, yet don't provide any additional financial incentive to do so. Prior education and/or experience mean nothing. You could be a CPA with a Master's in Taxation and you'll be making the same low pay as the high school drop out sitting next to you. Too much emphasis placed on selling products instead of providing a complete and accurate tax return.
