Pros
I don't know how they do it but working at H&R Block is genuinely enjoyable and I've met so many great people there. You get a real solid understanding of individual tax returns but after that point growth is limited. Sets you up for being extremely strong in individual tax which can serve you better than starting out as a graduate accountant in public practice.
Cons
The pay isn't great. Even as an office manager the pay doesn't increase much and you depend on bonuses, which I feel don't compensate. If you were to go to any other public practice the pay would be much better and you would get more exposure to different areas of tax. With a caveat that public practice can be extremely stressful and toxic. H&R Block is the exception!
