Pros

flexible schedules, respectful employees, professional setting, financial incentives, location, reputable name was good for resume, class was very informative.

Cons

I did not know what the receptioist would be handling the clients as she saw fit. In my case that meant she gave almost 90% of the clients to more seasoned preparers and I didn't make hardly anything, even though i was there and eager to work, wsaste of my 3 mos.

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
