Pros

Excellent brand recognition, high ethical standards, superb educational system, great people to work with--almost 'family'. Clients are for the most part good folks to work with, again almost 'family'. Pay is commensurate with your productivity level.

Cons

Management consistently changes their focus each Tax Season. Home Office doesn't know and (I believe) doesn't care how their mandates affect the local tax preparers. I've head it said that preparing taxes isn't similar to most other service businesses and certainly not to retail trade. Yet the Home Office continues to attempt to apply retail marketing and office procedures to tax prep. Your strong points are laudable but your inattentiveness to local personnel is your downfall.

Pros

If you get in the right office you can have amazing coworkers and can learn so much. You can gain a ton of experience and knowledge if you are willing to work and collaborate with other preparers. Training is robust and is there for you to utilize and work your way up to higher salary. The potential to earn a full years salary working for half the year once trained up to a higher level and build your book of business.

Cons

Communication is often not the best and in the offseason you are off boarded or get reduced salary and only work a day or two a week
