      Pros

      professional training is only $20/yr to learn as many professional tax courses that HRB have to offer

      Cons

      much too low starting pay for the technical knowledge one has to know to apply to very important Federal rule based taxation work (very legally line of work & important like any-any tax attorney's work at a common day-to-day tax laws vs very complex corporate tax law which practicing attorney may getting pay at at the range of $100-500/hr. Note: 1st year minimum-credit taken for college interns working at many companies in the same local area getting pay starting at $18-19/hr for both private companies, school institutions like MIT-LL, and government work for state/local municipalities.

      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.
