Pros

Fairly flexible working hours - though be prepared for slow times in January - February

Cons

If you apply through HR Blocks' taxprep classes (which you pay for) you will be offered a lower rate of pay. I encountered another employee who tested in that was paid ~14.25/hr During training hours before you come into the office, you'll be paid less. While attending the online 'orientation' type classes i was paid 11/hr

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.
