Pros

Flexible work hours. Brand name

Cons

Most office managers have zero training in preparing tax returns; are of no help with client tax issues. You may get stuck with a manager who's style is archaic, pedantic and characterized by a personality that is temperamental. If you are trying to feed your family, good luck! The hourly pay is dismal. Commissions help, but you are better off spending time actually learning how to prepare tax returns - not learning the HR Block system that gives you little actual tax knowledge.

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
