Pros

Fun, fast paced, seasonal job. Perfect for some but not for all. Access to continuing education. Mostly awesome co-workers and clients!

Cons

All levels of management above ATL. Only ones that know ANYTHING about taxes are the tax preparers. The further up the management ladder you go, the less they know about taxes and how things work. Unrealistic demands put on employees from upper management. The care seems to focus on the bottom line numbers for their bonuses rather than the tax preparers and clients making those numbers and bonuses possible.

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.
