Pros

- Decent hourly pay ($14.50/hour in Tax Season 2011) including 1.5x pay overtime - If you have a decent technical aptitude for computers and don't mind some pay for the first half of the year, this job can fill that role.

Cons

- Overtime is mandatory (50-60 hours) and can be inconvenient if one is expecting a 40 hour week. (However, you are warned of this from the get-go.) - Work hours can unexpectedly fluctuate depending upon caller demand. - If your performance isn't up to par, expect to be cut after the initial 4-6 weeks of the main tax season.

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.
