      Pros

      Positive environment, great place to learn about taxes, great benefits.

      Cons

      Horrible pay, bottom tenth percentile of compensation per title for the area (according to salary.com). Under staffing for the work load results in shifting priorities and constant crisis management. Large code base has a desperate need to be refactored but there's never time for that as a priority. Very little career advancement opportunities.

      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
