      Pros

      The best reason to work for H&R Block is for the tax preparation experience and meeting people in the community. You can also take online courses regarding new tax laws to increase your knowledge and up your hourly pay. It may also be accepted as college credit at some universities at a minimal cost.

      Cons

      The downside of H&R Block is the poor in class instructors and their inablility to instruct in a consistant manner. Also some offices tend to ignore the tax law which puts the taxpayer and the company at risk for audit, fines or imprisonment depending on how bad the offense may be.

      Pros

      Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

      Cons

      Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
