Pros

I've been with the company over 10 years and have always enjoyed working with my clients. The hours have been fairly flexible.

Cons

I usually don't give reviews, but this year seems the time. The company makes a big deal about not having pens on our desk and would prefer staplers put away. We aren't allowed a pen holder. We are supposed to have a 5X7 frame with our name and title on our desk that I feel is in the way. We are expected to take clients whenever they want to make an appointment, even if the office is closed. This may be convenient for the client, but would require anther employee to be in the office for safety. As with any retail establishment targets change from day to day...so do our schedules. Office hours change, making a day go from 8 hours to 10 hours. We are expected to walk up to strangers and ask about taxes...even if I have my kids with me.

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
