Pros

Nice co-workers. Very Flexible hours.

Cons

First year tax associates make $9 an hour with no bonus or commission potential. They change your schedule without telling you. Very unprofessional. After taking their tax course, it's pretty much a train yourself situation. Seasoned tax pros are too busy to help. VERY frustrating!!

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
