Pros

If you only want to work a few months of the year, this is a decent place to earn extra money.

Cons

You're always considered part-time and seasonal at the office level. You're hired and fired every tax season. There's no PTO. There's no health insurance unless you work enough hours (1500 is my best guess). There's no 401K until you work 1000 hours for the year. And you have to maintain the 1000 hours every year if you want the company match. They periodically change the way commissions are paid and claim the average person will make more money. The problem with averages is that someone will make more and someone will make less. I've always made less with every change.

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.
