      Pros

      Great work, very easy barrier to entry. Take their Income Tax Course, for three months dedicate yourself to taxes, come out pretty good at taxes! Great continuing education and benefits associated with advancement in rank/knowledge. Bonus after first year.

      Cons

      No bonus your first year. People who are cashiers but have a union make more money than you do. Only seasonal so after two months of working there you need to actively look for another job.

      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.
