Pros

I loved working with our clients and doing taxes, but management was in shambles

Cons

They don't treat their employees right. They're constantly adding sales to the job and compensation is low for all the extras that they want tax pros to perform. And then if you don't make quotas for the tax season, then when the new season starts they cut your pay. I left after I was cut down after missing my quota from 9.50 hr to 7.50 an hour. I refused to do all the work they expected out of me for minimum wage. I had worked for H&R block for 4 years. Now I'm happily just doing taxes for another firm during tax season and well compensated for my ability and not having to be a salesperson at the same time.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
