Pros

It is not a very physical job.

Cons

They can't fire anyone, because they are understaffed. Even if the employee is abusive, and makes mistakes, and lakes out at management and other employees. The company is in an outdated model basses on brick and mortar locations, so their fixed costs are high. Yet, customers number one complaint is price, so they can't pay employees well. What they do pay is based on commissions, so employees fight over customers instead of for customers. The missy toxic employees, and the low salaries drive many of the best employees away. They need to but the bullet and jump into today, instead of the slow crawl out of the 80's that they're currently on.

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
