Pros

They will give you a free tax preparation. There are willing co-workers for support, local offices, & a willingness to give lunch breaks around school schedules.

Cons

About 80 hours of unpaid training & testing just to see if you've been hired Scheduling that can leave you with 12 hour weeks / 3-four hour shifts Unwillingness to alter schedule in the event of personal emergency

Pros

Very flexible schedule. You pick the days and shifts you want to work. Clearly defined career path and requirements for attainment.

Cons

Starting pay not that great. Benefits nothing to sing praises about. Hard to understand compensation plan. Expected to work hard through peak season and then lay you off until second peak season

Pros

The income tax course was very nice and the training provided was very helpful. I liked the people who worked in my office. Everyone was very nice and had lots of knowledge, we got along with each other well.

Cons

The paid was so low. And the extra bonus was hard to get when you were very new to the company. I hate when the manager asked you to go outside and do "marketing" work...aka "beg" people to come and do tax.
