      Pros

      Good seasonal job to earn some extra money and to gain tax experience if interested in accounting or for general knowledge. Friendly co-workers. $20 a year gets you unlimited continuing education classes. Great place to build tax skills!

      Cons

      The hourly rate isn't that great, but you do make commission that is paid in the form of a bonus check in May after the tax season is over. There is sales involved by trying to upsell various products. Hours can very greatly. The peak season (end of Jan./early Feb. and mid April) can get hectic at times.

      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.
