Pros

Their professional tax software is very complex. You had to challenge yourself to know everyth ING you could relatred to the software as well as the tax talk as well. Some great people are there and tons of knowledge too. Benefits are decent and unlimited vacation.

Cons

Management is a joke. There are sooo many managers around and trend to micromanage what you are doing. Watch your back and be careful what you say to people. They don't have your back or best interests when it comes to work.

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.
