Pros

The training is great. The support base is fairly good to above average, it is a nice social environment, and their recommendation could be helpful on a resume.

Cons

Low pay, no room for advancement, poor management, no benefits. The company dictates to you throughout the year as if they own you. They tell you it is your own businesss yet they do not allow you to function as if it is. The management does not seem to value help today as they did a few years ago. I see a steady decline in human relations. It is sad because it was a really great place to work. Now it is a dread and the power is in the wrong hands. From some things that I have recently seen, I actually fear going to work and I wonder if my day will end up in some type of undesireable confrontation.

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
