Pros

Knowledgeable tax professional, willing to provide information to help your job easier. Flexible schedule.Great experience builder if you are interested in becoming a tax professional or maybe working with the IRS. I liked the fact that they did all of their hiring paperwork online. Any information about career opportunities, check stubs, and availability is accessed easily through their websites.

Cons

This is an hourly position and there was a stretch during the season that I really did not work at all for a whole month. The positions really is just a crap shoot for the company, because they try to just get bodies to fill the position and most do not really have any knowledge of the IRC. The hourly pay is sub standard for similar positions.

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.
