Pros

Tax Training, Seasonal Employment, excellent co-workers with extensive experience and skills, really good people.

Cons

Seasonal employment. Poor compensation structure. Upper management delusional. Upwards of 50% turnover in employees in recent years. Corporate pushes you to grow your own book of business and corporate will give clients from your book of business away via online appointment booking or call center appointments to anyone in the office. No loyalty program for returning clients.

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.
