Pros

Brand Name. Almost no branded competition. Best training in the Tax Preparation industry for Tax Professionals. Highly profitable

Cons

High turnover in senior leadership has resulted in the loss of the understanding of the core value the company provides it's customers. Anyone associated with, and who still holds to the former culture built by Henry and Richard Bloch has been systematically targeted and let go. The current senior leadership team does not understand the business but are not willing to admit it instead choosing attempt to change the company to fit the business they know, retail. Unfortunately running a highly specialized financial service operation like a "box on a shelf" retail operation is not working. Prediction - Bill Cobb (CEO) and his friends at the top (Kip Knight, etc.) will continue to be surprised by poor results as they dismantle the once great company. They will take their golden parachutes and jump leaving the company in shambles.

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
