Pros

My office had a great team, the job is not really hard, just head knowledge, and not many things to sell, other than the "insurance" on the tax returns. Pay is all right, it's based on knowledge. I had a great DM who really cared about his district and made us feel like family.

Cons

Seasonal (the reason I left). Also, when I was an office manager, the hours were insanely high, over 70 hours a week. I got burned out. After the tax season is over, you can work during the summer for a pay decrease I couldn't afford.

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.
