Pros

I personally had a great office to run. Made my job so much easier. Our clients that come back every year really appreciate the great value we offer for complicated tax returns.

Cons

A lot of micromanagement from higher up, made is difficult to run the office. Almost no training within the business, most of it is done online which is fine but no clear instructions at all of our responsibilities other than the obvious.

Pros

H&R Block provides thorough training, and employees should expect to study continuously throughout the season. The training is valuable and helps build a strong understanding of tax preparation. There are opportunities to "level up," and advancing through the certification levels can lead to higher pay over time. Management is approachable and readily available when assistance is needed.

Cons

The position is seasonal, and the starting pay is $12 per hour. During peak tax season, employees may work very long hours—sometimes up to 10 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week—which can be physically and mentally exhausting. In my first month, I also found that some of the staff were not especially welcoming, which made the initial adjustment more challenging.
