Pros

I don’t know that there are any pros to working at this place.

Cons

They don’t offer any training. The older tax pros are horrible money-grabbing people. Constant bullying by the older tax pros and management wont address the situation. They want you to answer the phones like you’re the receptionist if you dont have a huge clientele. They will steal the new clients from the newer tax pros! They try to make you work seven days a week because turnover is extremely high. I think this is one of the worst companies to work for. They do not give you supplies, they expect you to purchase them for yourself and write it off on your next year's taxes. I would not work for these people again to save my life. I would not work for these people again to save my life. I have been in the Accounting field for almost thirty years and never worked with people like this.

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.
