Pros

Good entry level resume builder for front office work/administrative stuff bc you don't have to be too experienced to start. U can learn a lot from your TPs. If your tax pros are nice and competent, you're set (otherwise expect to have to herd cats and run interference with clients everyday). If you do want to though, there is potential to become a tax pro (u have to take classes in off season, and i think pay for the books?) even if you start as CSP, which can open a lot of opportunities.

Cons

The pay. Very corporate but also neglectful management. Expect angry clients bc of pricing + constant auto communications/campaign calls from HRB. Don't expect any handholding and expect to be worked hard. The second u seem to understand something they'll try and get u to do more. Expect very little help from MTL/DGM, if any. Lowkey feels like they're panicking bc of Intuit. Just grin and bear until the season is over if u need the money

Pros

Job is entirely reliant on your coworkers. You need good tax pros who are established (or actively establishing their book) and can do their own problem solving and front desk who can manage the bare minimum (phone, computer, greeting) otherwise.. Good luck

Cons

Management was iffy but I can only speak for my MTL and District Manager being poor. Make sure you have competent leadership overhead or you’re just gonna have to free ball
