      Pros

      Good discounts for clients available, flexibility in working hours during tax season, good training for office processes.

      Cons

      Terrible culture in office between employees, low pay, unexpected pay cut for preseason work, cliquish culture from one office to another. Other tax preparers spend as much time cutting each other down as they do preparing taxes. Management allows this behavior to continue.

      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.
