Pros

Very flexible work hours. Pay increases as years of service, and level of achievement increase.

Cons

Compensation is based on your level of achievement. Entry level pay is minimal. It has been decreasing year after year.

Pros

Many of the instructors are very good allowing you to get an excellent education about income tax each fall. If you specify in the system when you aren't available to work you won't be scheduled then. Advancement is mostly closed to stupid people.

Cons

Almost no hours even during the busiest weeks of the year. Very annoying politics in whatever office you work.

Pros

You can make your own hours, work as hard as you want, promote yourself through your efforts and not because you know someone. You can learn as much as you want, take classes and practice as much as you want on your own. You are truly the master of your own course with this company. I could go on but there is not enough time in the day or room on this review.

Cons

When the work comes in, it is busy, but when the slow times of late February and March come, then you may not get many hours, or you may get hours where there is nothing to do but study and do practice clients, you need to keep busy and be positive because those who are on commission are bitter and short tempered and this is not the best time to ask them for help. At the same time, this is the best time to improve your skills because the end of April is coming and if you don't want to be run over with new requests, you better be taking practice clients each and every day.
