Pros

Online education Co-workers Training opportunities

Cons

This is actually a commission-based job. At the end of the season, based on one's level (test based, or EA, attorney, or CPA), your compensation is calculated based on your returns & add-on products, and your hourly rate (very low) is subtracted. If you've made more than you're hourly rate, you get paid that amount. There's a shortage of experienced preparers in the Boston area. As a result, there are very inexperienced associates hired. This leads to mistakes in returns, and added pressure on experienced preparers to support newbies (without compensation). Also - tax pros are expected to clean the offices and bathrooms!
