Avantages
I've been working at this company for four years, the first three as a CSP, and now as a First year Tax Pro. Over all I like it, the company is very supportive of my education as a tax pro and even pays for my PTIN and Oregon Tax Preparer's license.
Inconvénients
Compensation for first year tax pros isn't that great, I'm only earning $11/hour, with no commission, the same as when I worked as a CSP last year. You don't start getting a good paycheck until your second year as a tax pro. Also we are constantly being compared to what we did on the same day last year, and woe if we don't meet or exceed our target! Even though my office has always met its goals at the end of the tax season it's the day to day monitoring that really gets annoying. Also it is not uncommon for me to be scheduled seven days a week, give them an inch and they'll give you a mile.
