Pros

The coworkers that I have are great. We have worked together and developed a rapport that enables us to know we can go to someone else and know we can get help if we need it.

Cons

The company doesn't care about the employees. Their main goal seems to be as it always has been, to make more money than the other companies and they will push us preparers to do what they want. They are constantly changing the methods used to calculate bonuses, it seems as if every year we get less and less.

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.
