Pros

You can file your taxes for free

Cons

Corporate is run by clowns, they want tax pros to sell their small business items for bookkeeping and payroll but there is no pay benefit to do so, it is a psuedo commission style job where your hourly rate can be minimum wage unless you build a client base, they tell you to do what ever you can to get a client to file but then deny the requested discount that was offered, poor communication in the company on all levels from the CEO down to office manager, they provide fake recognition by recognizing you for being "customer-centric". Prices for clients to file is rediculously high but you are expected to sell value for something you wouldn't pay yourself.

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
