Pros

It is not manual labor, great company support network. It is fun helping clients and get thanked for your knowledge and services. Motivating incentive payments. can do your homework when its not busy and your manager is not picky.

Cons

very low base pay, very scarce opportunity for advancement. Most positions are seasonal. and of course, along with that, no benefits. And job satisfaction will have a lot to do with how you are managed, good vs. bad manager.

Pros

Flexible schedule, work as little or as much as you wish. Work with knowledgeable co-workers. Free tax preparation advice. Some paid free time if you are a student or have another job. Great training program. Many training opportunities.

Cons

Compensation isn't great in the first year, but increases in second year. Seasonal only. No control of pricing. They ask you to do the marketing work as well though, which means tell everyone you've ever met that you'll do their taxes. Asked to approach strangers as well. On April 13th through 15th, you'll work overtime whether you want to or not.
