Pros

Low-cost online educational material is excellent for those who are self-motivated. Working with clients and developing relationships is very rewarding. Being able to work just the tax season is ideal for some.

Cons

Dishonesty, unethical practices, and back-stabbing were prevalent among district management.and some office managers. Regular turnover of district managers and tax professionals. Required to sit through hours of non-productive "skills training" at minimum wage compensation rate, regardless of you year of experience. Tax professionals are not treated well -- the best and brightest are often required to work for free. Work schedule is inconsistent and regularly changed. Company does not seem have a clear direction. They change their focus and marketing strategy every year.

Pros

The coworkers that I have are great. We have worked together and developed a rapport that enables us to know we can go to someone else and know we can get help if we need it.

Cons

The company doesn't care about the employees. Their main goal seems to be as it always has been, to make more money than the other companies and they will push us preparers to do what they want. They are constantly changing the methods used to calculate bonuses, it seems as if every year we get less and less.

Pros

-flexible scheduling -good training -lot of down time after the busiest part of tax season

Cons

-pay is ok for CSPs, but first year tax pros get the shaft -clients get upset with you for IRS regulations they don't like -company charges entirely too much for tax prep, and you have to listen to clients complain about it
