Pros

Decent pay, well known company. Lots of locations to choose from. Good training and good benefits including insurance and stock options.

Cons

High pressure, constant turnover at the DM level. Every year brings a new master plan. What you did last year is now the dumbest thing they have ever heard of, but just wait a couple of years and it will be right back. Business is in a steady decline...changes in the industry and regulatory environment may bring the end of this company sooner rather than later.

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.
