Pros

Extremely flexible hours. Willing to work with you based on your scheduling needs. Many of the employees here (myself included) have other jobs and work at H&R Block part-time during tax season as extra income. Very unique experience and glad that I did it.

Cons

The customers. Get ready to deal with a lot of ungrateful people. Many are the type that you'll feel bad for when they don't get much back in taxes or owe money and you have to charge them money for your services. But I'd say more than half are the other variety where they get back more money than they made the entire year and they still complain that it isn't enough and expect you the tax associate to work some magic to get them more.

Pros

I could go on and on with an endless list of pros working for H&R Block but I list a few that stands out: 1. Management (Both in-office and district-wide) want to support your ability to build a book of business. Before the end of January, I was transferred to high traffic offices with better new-client potential. 2. Most senior and more experienced tax pros are willing to help and supervise you. 3. A great first job in a professional setting (Especially for someone who did not have the opportunity to do an internship). 4. Job helps you develop tax expertise as well as giving you call center, data entry, upselling, client service and financial advising experience. 5. If it's not your first tax season with the firm, you are eligible for an end of season commission (Depending on amount of revenue you brought to the company) in addition to the base pay you recieve as pay for weeks and hours worked.

Cons

It's seasonal. You are not eligible for a potential end of season commission if it's your first tax season. You also have to reapply before training begins again around 4th quarter of calender year (Although bear in mind this is due to the continuing education requiremnts of the tax preperation/ tax advisory field in general).
