Pros

Great employees at office level. Seasonal work. Wonderful teachers. Something new everyday.

Cons

Middle Management uncarrying recieve little respect or even a thank you. H&R Block office do the work from Jan. - April it take other companies all year to do. Employee are paid less that other compaines for the same amount of work. All tax professional are required to take 24 hours of classes to work the next tax season unpaid. Hours office is open are always changing. No insurance, 401k nothing.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
