Working at 1-800 Accountant - Small Business Tax Specialist 1-800Accountant Employee Review

Excellent support during training and the nesting period. They genuinely want to see you succeed and are willing to do whatever they can to help you grow. Has shown genuine care for my success and well-being. Great opportunity to make great money and turn a 9-5 into something that will be a well paying career. What you put into growing and learning you will get back. If you put the effort forward and take in everything they teach you(and there is no limitation for learning material) you WILL be successful! They legitimately offer a service that small businesses need and it feels great getting people signed up for something people genuinely need and will benefit from.

Can't work overtime in the nesting period. Has many opportunities to better yourself and make great money. The only con i can think of is that insurance benefits aren't that great.

You get a paycheck. Better than nothing. Remote work is available for those who want flexibility.

Toxic environment. Very high turnover and huge workload (60+ hours per week between February - April). Messy clients who only provide everything you need a small percentage of the time. Micromanagement and pressure to meet KPIs, even though returns cannot get done timely due to clients not providing what we need. Low/below average pay, especially for a location like Manhattan with a sky-high cost of living. Also, a large majority of the people working here have multiple years of experience, so it creates an even more toxic environment for those who are just trying to keep their head above water while having to work their first-ever tax season. Managers are also rude and do not give a hoot about their employees and their other life obligations - they just care if returns get done, regardless of the conditions on the ground with the clients who have no idea what they are doing.
