Pros

Great training and opportunities to learn Relatively easy entry Flexible schedules Good place to get started You learn a lot about preparing taxes and it helps you as well as the clients. Smaller accounting firms may consider hiring you after you've gained some experience.

Cons

Low pay Difficult to get any bonus Inconsistent management among the different locations Short work period A lot depends on which office you work for, and more importantly, the office manager you end up with. Your experience can be great or horrible so you should look for a good office. Also, the work is seasonal so after April 15th you'll be out of a job. Very few new tax preparers can stay on to work off season.

Pros

Best people to work with Amazing brand with lasting power Caring supervisors who listen You really can control your own destiny

Cons

I wish more folks understood the true meaning of being a publicly held vs private company and how that impacts our business. The seasonal nature can be challenging and requires strong leadership.
