Pros

You meet some great hard working people

Cons

Get your money’s worth! When you make an appointment at H&R Block, make sure that you request a tax pro that knows what they are doing. There are many tax pros that have the expertise, knowledge and experience to serve you. Your fees for tax preparation will be the same whether the tax pro knows what they’re doing or not. You should request and demand a tax pro that is a level four or five and has over eight consecutive years of experience with H&R Block. The person answering the phone, which is an eight dollar an hour unknowledgeable person, will tell you it doesn’t really make a difference. They are told to miss lead you. It could be years before you discover a mistake or mess a inexperience tax pros can and do make often. Some mistakes are corrected by senior tax pro, in which they receive nothing for correcting the mistakes. The reason H&R Block does this is their greed! They would rather pay a level one or two tax pro $10 an hour to do your return then pay a knowledgeable tax pro with years of experience a commission up to 20%. Even if your prior tax pro was friendly, nice, did you return quickly, or is your friend, you’re not getting your money’s worth if you don’t get a experienced tax professional! Your mistake could easily reduce your refund or increase the amount you owe. If your tax pro had to stop and go ask another tax pro anything, they do not know what they are doing! You should immediately ask to reschedule your appointment with someone else! No, it will not make a difference to have another tax pro look, or do a second look, after you have filed your taxes. A experienced tax pro should have been asking you questions all during the preparation of your return, not a few questions about part of your return.

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.
