Pros

Seasonal work. If you hire late in the season, you have to learn 5 months of training in 3 days and pass the tests & if you don't you are belittled

Cons

Lies about how much you'll be paid. Poor supervision. Training is lame

Pros

If you're looking for a very flexible job in tax this is the spot. Depending on your location/specialty the part time pay isn't too bad either. Good moonlighting experience. Also if you're new to tax w/ no experience its an entry level position that will teach the basics. If you're more advanced there are still ample opportunities here as well, specifically for EA's ((which they'll train you for)

Cons

It's just seasonal retail tax so don't look for long term employment. Though there is familiarity with HR to the masses it doesn't hold the same notoriety as traditional public accounting firm either. Some preparers make mistakes on clients returns and clients can come to you as if it's your mistake

There's always a place for you every year

Cons

Everybody gets the same onboarding and training (both new and returning staff) and it is not enough to get you started on your own
