Pros

They were flexible with working with me on my school schedule. The pay was amazing, at the time most of my friends were making minumum wage and I was making significantly more. I'm sure in these economic times they are a bit more tight with their payroll but I have no doubt they are still competitive. It was amazing experience to add to my resume, I am still surprised at how respected they are within their field and the diversity of career options I've had with this customer service experience.

Cons

I've noticed there is a lot of red tape as far as things having to be done a certain way. I think a lot of this has to do with the legality of working in a tax office, but I think there should be some more flexibility in the system.

Pros

The tax professionals are very dedicated to their clients.

Cons

Guidelines change quickly mid stream. Often the directions for change one arrived after change two had been initiated. There is very little proformance evaluation until a person has done something wrong. Basic evaluations were done by self and reviewed by leaders 2 -3 months later. Feedback is after season is completed and has very little to do with actual proformance more the bottom line. If you had a good year with increase in clients you were rated highly, if you had a bad year you were rated poorly. The evaluation did not address actions or reasons for the outcome.
