Pros

If you're in favor with senior management, it can be an okay place. The pay and benefits are good. Vacation time is plentiful.

Cons

Senior leadership is run like a country club. Very "clubby." Advancement is based on who likes you, not how capable you may be or what you've accomplished.

Pros

As a first year tax preparer you get to learn a lot. I was paid for the 60 hours of training necessary to be certified as a tax preparer in my state. I got a lot of help from the senior tax pro in my office, so I feel ready to come back next year and do well. I enjoyed helping find people all their deductions and sending them away happy with their refund. It seems like it may work out as a source of extra money during the winter for a number of years to come.

Cons

The starting hourly pay is pretty low. To be fair though, they are spending a lot of money to train you. After your first year you work on commission with a low hourly pay guarantee. I understand that the experienced preparers can do quite well.
