Pros

Good education and (depending on location) great support and learning from co-workers. It’s a great starting point for those interested in getting into the tax preparation field. Also very flexible hours you can basically make your own schedule.

Cons

How the pay works is awful and you can only qualify for benefits if you work over the summer - which the pay for the summer is worse than the pay during the season.

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.
