Interviewed Dec 2010 in Mesa, AZ (took a day)
I paid to take one of thier tax courses. (over 84 total hours). I got the high score in the class and the instructor stated that I would be hearing from someone about a position within a week. Two weeks later I still had not heard from anyone so I contacted the instructor. He was surprise to hear it as others from the class had already been hired. The offer for an interview came about a week later. The guy I was to meet was not working that day. They had another manager from a different office come over to interview me. (I had to wait about 45 minutes). The interview was extremely easy, more of a conversation.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
I interviewed following completion of their basic tax course. I was unemployed from a senior position with a financial services company and thought this would be a good option to work part time while continuing to look for a full-time position in my field. The interivew questions were geared more to my prior position than related to how I would perform preparing tax returns. I felt the interview was a token conversation, and there was never any intention to consider me for unemployment, due to my being over-qualified.

Interviewed Nov 2009 (took a day)
I took their Basic Tax course, passed the test, and filled out an application. I was impressed with my instructor and thought I would like to try the job on a part-time basis. The area and district managers seemed nice but their dress was not as professional as I would expect.
