Pros

You are directly in control of your pay and advancement because you are paid based on your certification level, which is also up to you. Great education and training available through computer based training and class room training. Very hands on experience which helps to understand the classroom theory.

Cons

The basic salary is very low for the level of responsibility that the job entails. The tax position is a seasonal position that employees should not have to re apply for every year.

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.
