Pros

• Opportunities to lead and manage multiple locations, which keeps the work challenging, dynamic, and interesting. • Strong support network from district leaders and corporate teams. They provide clear training and resources to help meet goals. • If you like helping people, this job is rewarding—clients truly appreciate getting their taxes right. • Flexible work-life balance. Any downtime is a nice perk considering the busy months. • Decent pay for the season, and bonuses are achievable if you meet targets.

Cons

• The job is heavily seasonal. Once tax season ends, there's little to no work, so it can feel unstable. • Long hours during peak season (January-April), often working nights and weekends, which can be tough if you have family commitments. • High-pressure environment to hit targets. Some locations struggle with staffing issues, making it even more challenging. • Limited opportunities for career growth beyond the seasonal role unless you relocate or take on a hard to get corporate role. • Sometimes feels like upper management is out of touch with the reality on the ground. They push aggressive goals without fully considering individual store circumstances.

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
