Pros

Professional and friendly colleagues and office leaders Extensive employee training before the tax season is very helpful to do a good job Office leader and other seniors offer lots of support and help

Cons

Some office locations are not conveniently located. As you progress within the company each year as a tax professional, you have to pass the same personal income tax exams. However, the new things you learn each year is not a lot. And you also don't get to do corporate tax, most of the returns are simple personal income tax.

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.
