      Pros

      Education - learned a lot in the course, but for $150 you can take it many places.

      Cons

      $9 / hour regardless of experience - they say you are "in training" your first year. If an employee isn't worth more than $9/hr they shouldn't be doing taxes! they push you to sell products to people who really don't need them they have a 2-year noncompete agreement that they sneak in at the last minute they frequently schedule "mandatory" events that span for just a couple of hours, many unpaid with very short notice They don't tell you all the hoops you will have to jump through up front - there are many

      Pros

      Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

      Cons

      Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
