Pros

The employees I work with are amazing. My manager is amazing. Love the flexibility. They pay for ITIN and Ctek

Cons

#1 The training is lacking, it is forced at the end of the year when most of us are busy with holiday plans. #2 Barely anything during the summer, not really clear as to what we need to do to move up levels. #3 the Rara! meetings pushing us to sell....sell...sell....get really old. Supposedly we make bonus for selling....I have yet to see this, even though I have been one of the top sellers. #4 Some of our managers need to learn people skills. #5 The pay scale is pitiful and complex. #6 To force us to hit the pavement and bring in customers, that we are our own contractors and then give us W2s and tell us that we cannot take our clients when we leave is a little bit of a contradiction and laughable.

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
