Pros

It’s only seasonal. You can transfer offices or districts as they call them You can make a bonus

Cons

Zero work life balance Managers get conflicting directions and micro managed so they can’t do their jobs The people above the office manager over ride the schedules so they ignore the times you’re able to work and give you 12 hour shifts or have you work earlier or later than you’re able Retaliation if you say no you can’t work more hours or be available on a day off Last minute schedule changes are constantly happening some with less than 24 hour notice Constant threats to your employment if you don’t play by their rules Hostile and toxic work environment

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
