Pros

Decent pay for the position, not much skill needed, other than the ability to follow directions precisely and communicate well with employees and clients. It's okay to set your own work hours, as long as the work gets done and you're available when employees need you, sometimes on very short notice. Supportive and pleasant group of Office Managers from other, nearby locations, meet on a weekly basis. Very well organized training and guidance, there is a system for every aspect of the business.

Cons

Scheduling metrics were constantly changed by the corporate office, making it difficult to establish and maintain employees' schedules from day to day, let alone week to week. The requirements often clashed with the specific needs of the branch. You're on call 7 days a week, open to close, having personal plans during the tax season is not really feasible but it's only for 4 months, a fairly small commitment. Some of the systems were too restrictive and inefficient, leaving little room to use your own skillsets to lead effectively.

Pros

You can file your taxes for free

Cons

Corporate is run by clowns, they want tax pros to sell their small business items for bookkeeping and payroll but there is no pay benefit to do so, it is a psuedo commission style job where your hourly rate can be minimum wage unless you build a client base, they tell you to do what ever you can to get a client to file but then deny the requested discount that was offered, poor communication in the company on all levels from the CEO down to office manager, they provide fake recognition by recognizing you for being "customer-centric". Prices for clients to file is rediculously high but you are expected to sell value for something you wouldn't pay yourself.

Pros

It was a good program and a lot of clients benefited from this because many were not able to come to the office, so they would choose to do their return online.

Cons

The compensation was not great
