Pros

A lot of training is available

Cons

Very little feedback or mentoring. You must train yourself, and then pray you've learned tax codes correctly as there is little to no feedback or quality control.

Pros

Learn about old and new tax laws and deductions/credits; beneficial for doing one's own taxes

Cons

My particular store manager was of little help. I relied on my coworkers to help me learn the finer details of the software system as well as specific interpretations of certain tax laws. Shyness will prevent you from learning.

Pros

They have a thorough and comprehensive training program that seems to be able to prepare just about anyone to prepare taxes. Flexible hours, office can be fun if you get assigned to the right one. Too bad the home tax software is so easy to use that most people are doing their own taxes now (good for taxpayers, not so good for paid tax preparers).

Cons

Training program and progression system seems to be too rigid – does not consider past experience / education very much when you begin with company. If you return to work for them over multiple seasons and build a solid client base, you might get paid well; however, if you leave the area and your client base, you have to start from square one again (and pay at square one is ridiculously low).
