Pros

-Can work seasonally (mostly during tax season) if you are looking to supplement other work. -Work is not typically difficult, but can vary from task-to-task.

Cons

-Compensation is low compared to other jobs. -You will put a lot of mileage on your vehicle driving around to offices. -Corporate is very pushy about marketing and treats every task no matter how minor as though it is an emergency.

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.
