Pros

I've been a seasonal, tax preparer at H&R Block for the past nine seasons. It's been a fruitful relationship for me. Every off-season I take advantage of H&R Block's training and education programs. I've been able to build up my clientele (diverse, broad-range of taxpayers) within a higher-end tax office. It's proven to be a terrific part-time, seasonal opportunity for me.

Cons

Company policies and procedures are not consistently enforced in the individual tax offices. Seasonal benefits are minimal.

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.
