Pros

I worked for a franchise owner. She was very flexible, competitive pay, and really took the time to get involved with the employees. The advancement opportunities are really good as they are employee driven so you can determine how high up the ladder you want to go.

Cons

Sometimes there is a lack of communication between managers and tax preparers. With very flexible hours, sometimes there can be issues with client files and a disruption in getting things done.

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.
