      Pros

      You have limited choice over your own hours, and they give you resources for training. Theoretically a good deal.

      Cons

      You have to pay for your own training, sidejobs like passing out flyers to local businesses, telemarketing, other antiquated techniques that make you hate yourself for spamming for a living. What training is given is highly inadequate except for basic returns, you must self study the rest with cbts. There are only two types of clients at h&r block, the poor who you rob of EITC with exorbitant pricing (they don't care) and the cheapskate rich who are too cheap to hire a CPA. Anyone else is a tourist who isn't returning next year.

      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.
