Pros

Good seasonal job to earn some extra money and to gain tax experience if interested in accounting or for general knowledge. Friendly co-workers. $20 a year gets you unlimited continuing education classes. Great place to build tax skills!

Cons

The hourly rate isn't that great, but you do make commission that is paid in the form of a bonus check in May after the tax season is over. There is sales involved by trying to upsell various products. Hours can very greatly. The peak season (end of Jan./early Feb. and mid April) can get hectic at times.

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
