Pros

Education on tax preparation online that keeps you busy. The managers do not come in to work and bother the trained staff frequently. They call and harass everyone and you are lucky if they stay away.

Cons

The reality is the tax preparers are trained in tax and have a higher education level due to training than the managers, The managers are young and immature and do not manage in any kind of predictable way. Possibly everyone in the retail branch is making minimum wage so expectations on a company of mature and thoughtful leaders is not what you are getting at all. This is a churn and burn type of sweatshop with the young untrained managers calling the shots. Anyone with a brain should stay away or get in and get out. And they are predators of the poor. Do your clients and your self a favor and move on to better company with better morals and ethics. This company has none.

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
