Pros

A good place for a start. A good class training session that is paid for. Price is reasonable for 4 months

Cons

However, first-year timers are not given the opportunity to practice. And in some cases, the branch tactically put you at the front desk. It was quite demotivating

Pros

Decent pay for the position, not much skill needed, other than the ability to follow directions precisely and communicate well with employees and clients. It's okay to set your own work hours, as long as the work gets done and you're available when employees need you, sometimes on very short notice. Supportive and pleasant group of Office Managers from other, nearby locations, meet on a weekly basis. Very well organized training and guidance, there is a system for every aspect of the business.

Cons

Scheduling metrics were constantly changed by the corporate office, making it difficult to establish and maintain employees' schedules from day to day, let alone week to week. The requirements often clashed with the specific needs of the branch. You're on call 7 days a week, open to close, having personal plans during the tax season is not really feasible but it's only for 4 months, a fairly small commitment. Some of the systems were too restrictive and inefficient, leaving little room to use your own skillsets to lead effectively.

Pros

The people you work with are hard working and helpful. The company provides supportive training and incentives and tries to foster a positive culture of support and appreciation.

Cons

Head office has a narrow view sometimes and implements changes without considering the impact of the timing on the employees in the small community offices. Pay is not the greatest.
