Pros

Improvement of tax programs used to prepare clients returns. Some locations have great managers trying their best to sort out the company issues for the betterment of the client and employee. Seasonal work. Great way to make a few extra dollars. $20 for continuing education through

Cons

Managers hired without prior tax experience lack understanding of tax laws and regulations. Petty fighting between some office managers and stealing clients from other locations. Some times issues with balancing office support needs with prior projections from corporate locations. Call Center schedule clients when tax professional is not scheduled. If hours need to be cut the "computer" will cut hours even when a client is already schedule. Heavy sales push from upper management to push products the clients do not need.

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.
