Pros

Lots of good training on taxes. Good tax prep software so getting into the return process is easy. Reasonably good schedule until the last couple of weeks of tax season. Some colleagues very helpful, supportive for new preparers.

Cons

Low hourly pay. Schedules changed without any notice. Offices aren’t well maintained. Culture encouraging people to work extended hours with no breaks. You think you’re there to prepare taxes only to discover they want you to push “products” like their proprietary credit cards, refund loans, etc.
