"I worked here for 25 years and there are a lot of women working here, but not in higher management roles. Mid level women don't seem to advance."

"You control how much you make, take the classes you need to learn more. It does take time to build up your client base and your income."

"As a Tax Professional your income is dependent upon how much time and effort you are willing to put into your business. The more education you get the more you know. It does take time to build up to a decent income."

"I've been here for 9 years. My position is hourly-paid and during tax season I get a ton of overtime. I have also earned performance incentives and decent commissions. However, there are limited opportunities available outside of tax season. I have also observed that the company rarely hires upper management from the base of seasonal tax pro's and office managers, so there is little promise of upward mobility regardless of gender. My job is best considered a "second job" because I make the majority of my income from self-employment during the 8.5 months outside of tax season. Seasonal associates do not get healthcare benefits."

"As a tax preparer, we are only seasonal. We need more year round work."

"some men who prepare taxes are paid better then woman, woman do not seem to advance"
