Pros

Very flexible schedule - this company bends over backward to work with you, meeting great people, awesome employee website that keeps you informed, district leadership visits all stores quite frequently offering feedback

Cons

Management and even some tax professionals walk in late and pay little attention to their calendar. They want $17 hour work but pay you peanuts, I was a little surprised at all they wanted me to do for the pay and think it is unfair they pay more in Manhattan than in other boroughs - same work. It is discouraging to see them pay a college-educated experienced person the same as someone who just graduated high school.

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.
