Pros

Traditional culture is about really caring about clients on a personal level, not just getting their taxes done. They throw in a lot of things for free. It feels good to get to truly help people.

Cons

Middle management is more concerned with not being fired than about running the business. They drop like flies. Union style culture where the elderly experienced tax pros will go as far as to hide client information on clients they don't even have time to complete on time to prevent other tax pros from completing them. Experienced tax pros at war with corporate culture. Health insurance turned out to be non-existant, waste of money.

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.
