Pros

Best training in individual taxation in the industry

Cons

This is employment for individuals who have another sources of income. This is a purely part time position. On top of that the company expects you to develop new business without pay and then claims the client as the company's and not as your client. Company is so absorbed with its brand, it does not value it professional CPA's and EA's. This is a low wage part time job paying at about the level of what can be earned at a fast-foods job. On top of that, its full service face to face product is declining because the company has a cumbersome outdated administrative software system that does not integrate seamlessly with its tax preparation program. Management model is very hierarchical and it is hard for ideas to move up to the top. This is a company that is in trouble.

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
