Pros

H&R Block is a great place to work if you want to gain experience preparing taxes or need a part-time job. The hours are flexible. Depending on your office, most co-workers are very friendly and willing to help. H&R Block provides a lot of resources online, which allows you to figure the answer to a tax problem very efficiently.

Cons

The pay is compensation based. For new employees, this could be a problem. It does take some years to build your client base. The training for new employees could be more efficient and better. Some offices do not have adequate office supplies and materials, but that really depends on your office. Some clients can be hard to deal with.

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.
