Meet The Team: Mary Koschene
Name: Mary Koschene Title: Assistant Supervisor Years with TaxSlayer: 4 years Q: What do you like most about your job? A: The challenge of tax season. I enjoy assisting people with their tax needs and concerns. It is rewarding to know that I help produce a quality product. Q: How does your job change throughout the year? A: During the tax season, I am busy assisting the support staff with customer service needs as well as continually testing the program with any new updates that are required. During the off season things slow down (just a little) and I can concentrate on next year’s program. Q: What do you enjoy doing when you’re not working? A: My favorite thing to do is to curl up on my front porch and read a good book. I also enjoy going to the lake and wakeboarding. Q: Something many people don’t know about you? A: I have an adventurous side. I love to try new things but I don’t think that I would ever go bungee jumping or jump out of a perfectly good airplane. :)
