Pros

It’s a job and I hear they will hire anyone if you pass their tax class which they will most likely pay for because they treat their employees so bad that people drop like flies.

Cons

Only one bathroom at our location which is in a shopping center. Distract Manager does not care if you are a woman. He purposely schedules you alone and the creepy clients are allowed in the back room without supervision. I just had a client walk in on me because they refused to fix the lock until they sent someone back unattended in this creepy back hall way that goes to our restroom,. Sorry that happened to you, we fixed the lock but letting clients unattended in our back took and back door unattended is ok. That’s the email I got back from this dm.

Pros

This job is very flexible with hours and schedule.

Cons

Your hourly pay is deducted out of your bonus. If a client decides not to file a return with you, your do not receive any payment. Since it commission based, other tax professionals can and will steal your clients and returns so that they receive the commission instead of you.

Pros

resume experience pay (at least not minimum wage) Some tax pros were helpful

Cons

The leadership overseeing this location is disconnected from daily operations. As a CSP, I was directed by the DGM to leave the front desk to follow clients to the back of the building for bathroom escorts. While I was away, I was unsure if the desk was even being monitored. Furthermore, there was almost never anyone assigned to cover the front desk while I took my lunch breaks. Communication is a significant hurdle. Management is often at other offices or in hour-long online meetings every morning, leaving me for an extra hour without any help for front-desk issues. Customers would frequently arrive upset because they had scheduled appointments with a CSP; I’m unsure if this was a system error or a management decision, but it created unnecessary conflict at the front desk. Additionally, closing duties frequently included having to clean dried urine from the bathroom floor. The scheduling was the final issue. My schedule was increased to 60 hours for the following week without any mention of overtime pay. I was suddenly required to work a weekend during a planned family event. When I brought this up, the DGM simply said, "everybody works weekends." I have worked weekends in other occupations, but the issue here was that this was never discussed or mentioned until the last minute.
