Tax Relief Advocates

The company is going through some growing pains. Sales and Funding are pushed to break records while not having the proper number of support staff to deal with the aftermath. What this leads to is slow turnaround for files and angry clients. Overtime is HIGHLY encouraged (meaning do it or you're not a team player). Why are are the executives pushing so hard so fast instead of just growing the business organically?  Are they in need of another mansion or something?  Guess they never heard of employee burnout. That said, depending on the department, you will get a chill manager.  Some will act like your "bro" but don't be mistaken, this is still a business.  Pay is market rate for the position but the case load is quite high. There is plenty of room for advancement and you can make pretty good money. Monthly, there is an employee appreciation meeting where the top producers are awarded money. But, let's be honest, the grand $5,000 prize is going to go to Sales most of the time. Not sure what the point of having this as a mandatory meeting.  It's less about appreciation but more how can you peer pressure the team to do double the work without actually having to raise wages for everybody (they literally have a public screen with names on it so you all can see who's the best).  They love telling stories of their big wins too.  Okay, so the team saved saved the clients a few millions, what percentage of those millions are trickled down to the employees? Big wins are fine to be celebrated but this is what I think about everytime.  15five is also complete nonsense. Who is going to be truthful on this thing? Seems like a way for managers to vet out troublesome employees. Just have blind suggestion box and call it a day.  By the way, if you're late or sick, you have to use a central email that, instead of going to HR, goes to ALL of the managers.  Apparently, these managers care if you're late but won't care if you leave and need a good referral!  They are not allowed to give you one so you can't even get the benefit of doing a good job somewhere else.


I have never worked in the financial industry my entire life. I have been a paralegal, city employee, managing multiple retail locations, etc. and none of them compare to the dynamic of the office and the company that they have here at TRA. Since the moment I started they have been not only supportive, but also been able to accommodate to my single parent life. Being a single parent can be challenging for most individuals and who employs them but not at TRA. They go above and beyond when it comes to support for me and my child. Whether it is having him in office for a moment or me needing to take time for him, they 1000% understand and work with me on the time. BUT also, the work environment is AMAZING!! From the support of the managers and the entirety of the staff (other associates and depts.) they make sure to set you up for success! I knew nothing about taxes but as the days went by and the weeks went by the knowledge provided by TRA for you to gain goes beyond words. They put me in a position to not only help myself, but also help my family and friends with their problems as well. For most, they are not financial literate , but being a current employee here at TRA that changes. The tools to be able to be an asset to the company and provide for your family that TRA gives you while being here is next level. IF you were ever looking into getting into this field, but not sure because you are not knowledgeable on taxes or this industry, LOOK NO FURTHER, TRA WILL make sure to put you in a position that will elevate your life! 

One of the best things about working for Tax Relief Advocates is the compensation.  I know a lot of people look for other things like benefits, management, etc. and that is great also, but I am all about making the most money possible because I work hard.  So I want a company that will be able to compensate me for that hard work.

Tax Relief Advocates does just that.  Ever since I started working here, management's goal was to make sure I had everything I needed to succeed.  So I took advantage of that and have been able to create a six figure income fairly quickly.

Now I don't want to sound like I'm all about the money, I am also all about the customer.  Because if I am being paid from what clients pay the company, I want to make sure the customer is taken care of as well.  I want to make sure they get what they paid for.  TRA is excellent about doing that as well.  Their goal is to help change people's lives for the better.

Finally management and culture.  If you plan on working for a good company that will be around awhile, you have to have good management and a good culture.  TRA has that as well.  The management team is helpful and they will bend over backwards to try and have you make the the most money possible.

Also goes without saying, you can't have a good culture without good management.  And the culture and work environment TRA has is second to none. 

So if you are looking for a place to start a career, you can't go wrong with TRA.

After working in the Tax Resolution industry for over 8 years I finally can say I found a home at TRA. 
Not only was I able to come in and do the best I possibly could, but so many new doors opened in a short amount of time at this company. 
I went from working at one of the smaller locations as a Case Manager to now working my way up to the Manager of the Resolution Department. 
Along with this I was allowed to study, for a couple of the highest types of licensing you can have in the industry under one of the best EAs in the game. 
The guidance and supports this company provides its employees is beyond anything I’ve ever seen or been a part of. Usually I don’t bring people over to certain jobs, but this is a place I truly wish to share with my close friends because it has a family base, we look out for one another and don’t have to feel like a finger is being pointed at anyone. 
We also get the chance to get involved with our community, by being active in donations and assisting at shelters around our area. 
And these, are just a few of the things that make me feel good about where I work, much more to come in the near future, I’m thankful to have that feeling. 

TRA is special in so many ways.   The company does an amazing job at showing the employees they are appreciated.   They pick different people each week to get free car washes.  They provide lunch on Fridays and there are a LOT of people they buy food for so that’s nice.   The office is always decorated so nice for all the different holidays.  They have fun contests each month and are just insanely generous.  Their employee parties are legendary and so much fun!  We had a yacht party this summer that was sick!  Honestly it’s just a fun place to work but you do have to work.  If you are good at sales and work hard you will make money.  All the training and resources are provided and there for you.   Anyone who thinks there is a better sales job in Orange County is crazy.  They even started to give away like $5k to the employee of the month and all departments are included too.   This is by far the most fun, and best sales job I’ve ever had.   I even got a gift from them on my birthday and I hadn’t even worked there a full month.   That’s unheard of.   Love TRA baby!   Like any sales job you have to build a pipeline, first few months are tough but man is it worth it once you stick it out.  It’s insane money after 2-3 months.  

I worked for this company for over a year, it used to be an awesome place to work which is how they achieved the awards. Then they lowered the commission for sales people basically cutting it in half. Now you have to work twice as hard and get paid half as much. Their percentages are embarrassingly low. If your an experienced closer and sales person I would stay far away, there are companies that will pay you way more to do half the work and just close. The adds say 2-300k annual income which you will never make here. You'll likely make 3-6k month after taxes as the highest Resolution Officer, and that wont be consistent. I was one of the top producers at TRA and my current company started laughing when I showed them my pay stubs. My income has tripled since working for my current company. Applying for the tax department or settlement officer would be a mistake. Unless you like doing a lot of work for little pay. Don't be fooled by the culture, there just another company that pays like S*** and expects you to move mountains.

Mailroom department is horribly managed. Lots of favoritism and friends working under management, creating constant side-taking and unfair treatment for employees. Rules and punishment only apply to employees they aren’t buddies with. Inappropriate behavior from higher ups in the mailroom including vaping and trash talking other individuals in the office. If you want to avoid escalation and retaliation from management, avoid bringing any concerns that involve their work favorites to them (they will refuse to listen to your side of the situation). Good benefits and decent company to work for, but favoritism, conniving/inappropriate behavior under management in the mailroom outweighed the pros. New management strongly needed in this department. 

They will lie to there customers and to there employees. They don’t care about there employees at all, the only way to move up is if you know someone. Fights happen in the office, people get drunk on the job, and they pick and chose who they keep or get rid of. Will tell you you are hired and fire you a month later for something you gave them notice about. Work place culture is party, party, and party. If you tell them you are sober they won’t care and still offer you drinks. Management is supportive, but most of the time they won’t be there. They truly do not care about there employees or clients. Be careful bringing business here and working here. The only good thing is pay is really good for some positions. But stay out of the drama and if you are sober they are not a sober work environment. So be careful. 

I have been w/ TRA for over a year now.  I have seen growth ever since I started my career here.  Once I was hired on, I was trained trained, provided realistic expectations, supported, managed, and encouraged.  I have what I need to be as successful and to earn as much as I would like to.  I work with a diverse group of people that I like and respect and learn from regularly.   The ownership and management team are always looking for ways to improve.  I have found that they are also open to feedback and suggestions.  I feel at home here at TRA. I enjoy coming to the office. I feel good about what we do for our clients, and I see myself becoming a bigger part of the Company in the years to come.  Anyone with the appropriate expectations, a hard work ethic, and a positive attitude will succeed here are part of our Team!

With anything you do in life, hard work will always be hard work. Long as you come to work with a positive attitude and you remain coachable and reliable, Tax Relief Advocates is the job for you. If you come to work and work hard everyday, the hard work never goes unnoticed. What I have learned about the firm is they encourage you to be a better you, which meaning if you come into a position but you believe you see another position that can best fit you and the company, they will defiantly take it into consideration and even train you to make the transition. The energy that your co-workers bring are on another level! This job is also a really safe environment and they promote the open door policy! Everyone at our firm is approachable, from your co-workers to the management team.
