Pros

Work life balance if you have the right manager Access to information Benefits Autonomy in some districts

Cons

Lots of excessive drinking at management meetings and conventions by corporate managers, human resource managers Cutthroat Upper management lies constantly HR handles issues poorly and just wants to “sweep it under the rug” when you’re a manager calling on an employee So hard up for tax pros they will rehire anyone no matter how many times they’ve been reported to HR Don’t bother busting you rear to preform well, promotions are given out based on who is “liked” more not by who performs better. The numbers prove it. Left hand never knows what the right hand is doing with company MVPs What is a good idea and the way to do something today could be the dumbest idea tomorrow Disorganization You will be promised the world to boost your performance but in the end it was just all fluff DO NOT FALL FOR THE “talking up” it’s just to benefit the manager NOT YOU When fluff doesn’t work scare tactics will, you will always feel like you are disposable at any moment.

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
