Pros

Very flexible schedule. You pick the days and shifts you want to work. Clearly defined career path and requirements for attainment.

Cons

Starting pay not that great. Benefits nothing to sing praises about. Hard to understand compensation plan. Expected to work hard through peak season and then lay you off until second peak season

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
