Pros

Doing what I love with wonderful clients

Cons

I started with a franchise and last 3 years corporate bought the location back, they charge much more and do not pay as the franchise did. I made approximately $7000.00 less under the corporation. They have to many in the corporate office that are paid hundreds of thousands and have no tax knowledge, just business degrees or marketing degrees

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.
