Pros

Full time 40 hrs per week only jan to april. Less than 10 employees in my district work outside of that timeframe. No benefits due to seasonality. Unpaid training encouraged. Look for something better.

Cons

No benefits and seasonal employment thus high turnover. Pay on par with retail/ fast food

Pros

• Opportunities to lead and manage multiple locations, which keeps the work challenging, dynamic, and interesting. • Strong support network from district leaders and corporate teams. They provide clear training and resources to help meet goals. • If you like helping people, this job is rewarding—clients truly appreciate getting their taxes right. • Flexible work-life balance. Any downtime is a nice perk considering the busy months. • Decent pay for the season, and bonuses are achievable if you meet targets.

Cons

• The job is heavily seasonal. Once tax season ends, there's little to no work, so it can feel unstable. • Long hours during peak season (January-April), often working nights and weekends, which can be tough if you have family commitments. • High-pressure environment to hit targets. Some locations struggle with staffing issues, making it even more challenging. • Limited opportunities for career growth beyond the seasonal role unless you relocate or take on a hard to get corporate role. • Sometimes feels like upper management is out of touch with the reality on the ground. They push aggressive goals without fully considering individual store circumstances.
