Pros

Very flexible schedules that allow you to share with your family and improve your education while earn extra money. My partners helped me a lot. I cannot guarantee the same behavior in other offices but they were very patient with me. Very organized office with good support from experienced staff. Very good training and classes.

Cons

Poor communication of new tax-related laws, changes, products and services. Of course, this responsibility depends of the manager's efficiency. Low hourly rate, that is understandable if you received the training for free. However, experienced tax professional sometimes do not like that.

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.
