Pros

Paid well for seasonal work, and I ended up loving my teams of tax pros and my coworkers.

Cons

The way the company tied bonuses to work for tax pros created a bad environment and encouraged competition rather than cooperation between tax pros, so building a trusting and bonded team was challenging. That, and constant difficult conversations with upset clients who were expecting a different tax outcome was exhausting, and there was little to no support or training from upper management on handling those conversations. Not to mention the impact that COVID had on the 2020 tax year - the job was tough.

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
