Pros

1 - At first co-workers were great until the India invasion. 2 - Some of the bonuses were really good. I don't think they have the same bonus plans today. 3 - The time off allowed after tax season was great. 4 - The training was great.

Cons

1 - They used to have a great team of developers until they started hiring programmers from India who were IMHO incompetent and hard to understand. They should have never started to hire H-1B visa employees just to save money, it is costing them more in the long run. 2 - At the end of each tax season everyone would take a well-deserved break, the problem is that break lasted for months, and it took way too long for business owners to come up with the next years requirements leading to last minute changes that lead to very late nights and long hours unnecessarily. 3 - In order to get a decent raise, you had to find another job and quit, then you would get a counteroffer.

Pros

Scheduling is flexible, all the people are very helpful and collaborative when you have a question, client interaction is very satisfying, despite some difficult ones occasionally. Work is interesting.

Cons

It's only seasonal work even though it would be good to do it year round. Doesn't necessarily pay enough for it to be your only source of income unless you've been there for quite a few years and have many many repeat clients so that you can produce revenue for the company above what they pay you in hourly wages. Which I understand the reasoning behind it but still doesn't make it very sustainable as a career type thing. That being said many of the people come back for 20 plus years to keep working here so that definitely says something.
