Pros

The education you can recieve from this company is great. There are constantly training classes to attend. The corporate office tries to keep in touch with employees through computer communications. Most of the people who work here are helpful. The district managers listen to the taxpros and try to deal with the problems which occur.

Cons

You are put into a competitive environment. It is dog eat dog to grab the most clients. If the office managers prepare returns they can override the system and grab all the clients to themselves. Although the company is trying to change it, most of the offices are less than clean. Also, because the pay is based on your commission it is very hard to start at this company. It is not clear to most employees that you are paid on commission.

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.
