Pros

Great people to work with, good training program, lots of tax knowledge among the tax pros, plenty of opportunity to gain as much tax experience as you like, flexible work hours, good balance of work/family life.

Cons

Not much room for advancement, relatively low pay, hard to plan here for long term employment. I can see where newcomers get frustrated with getting tax experience the first 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.
