Pros

*Somewhat flexible working schedule. *Co-workers were awesome/helpful if needed advice with a tax return. *Good 80-hour tax course offering, and generally pretty much hired on after the class/passing of the LTP exam. *Good place to “get your feet wet” in the realm of income taxes. Lots of practice/experience preparing tax returns.

Cons

*Having to work on commission for some of your pay. *Having to sell the extra “products” - especially when the tax return was already supper expensive to begin with (depending on the client) *On occasion was put with clients that was higher than my level (or last years’ clients going to another tax pro in the office).

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.
