Pros

Flexible schedule. Many of the people that I worked with were helpful and driven. If you need part-time work, this company is worth looking at. Also, you gain decent tax preparation knowledge by working here.

Cons

Directives from management are confusing, at best. Local marketing is limited by corporation. Many of the tax pros are incompetent at preparing taxes.

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.
