Pros

No stress, no hassle to getting employed. Everything is at your fingertips and you don't actually have to know what you're doing. (I cringe at being called a tax specialist because I worked for them). They have a plan and you can advance though I use that word loosely.

Cons

The pay is dismal, the commissions are dismal (only growing to anything resembling a pittance after a few years), majority of work is seasonal.

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
