Pros

I learned excessive amounts about Federal taxes, the IRS, state taxation, and property taxes. It is a feather in my cap to this day...

Cons

The pay rate is so minimal that it is a joke. Unless, you have a huge number of clients you will never ever break the base of $10/hour.

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
