Pros

Hire you fast when given and interview.

Cons

Fire you fast. Cannot train a person with a B.A degree or will hire you and tell you we don't have enough time to train you. Friend worked there for a couple of month hired in the field for what she went to college for and had the B.A degree. I got hired there a couple of years later with a technical degree. The do not understand accessibility and laws for diversity and handicapped.

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.
