Pros

Working alongside and learning from experienced tax preparers, flexible hours, continuing education courses provided for a very minimal annual fee. Great work atmosphere in the office and many loyal clients.

Cons

High turnover rate in management, low compensation, not much opportunity for growth in terms of compensation, seasonal position requires all employees to take a furlough thus making them ineligible for benefits such as health insurance or tuition assistance (which are talked up as a selling point during the interview process)

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.
