Pros

Professional and friendly colleagues and office leaders Extensive employee training before the tax season is very helpful to do a good job Office leader and other seniors offer lots of support and help

Cons

Some office locations are not conveniently located. As you progress within the company each year as a tax professional, you have to pass the same personal income tax exams. However, the new things you learn each year is not a lot. And you also don't get to do corporate tax, most of the returns are simple personal income tax.

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.
