      Pros

      Good place to learn. I suggest that if you are an accounting student you spend a year working at Block. Good short term employment, especially if out accounting for a few years.

      Cons

      Tax pros have little opportunity for advancement. Most managers and corp exec's have no tax prep experience. As you gain expience and grow your book of clients, your bonus will grow, however they will try to reassign your easy clients and this will limit your bonus growth. Expect heavy pressure to sell credit cards, POM and other products that most clients don't really need.

      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.
