      Pros

      A bar located next door was the closest to a pro for working here.

      Cons

      I wasn't on the job more than 10 minutes before one of the "grand dames" working there started questioning me about my familial status, then proceeded to tell me that if my now-husband and I started trying to get pregnant at that time, we could have a baby when I turned 50 (I was going on 48 years old at the time), and retire when the child graduated from high school. Also, the manager at the time told me that once I had a clientele list like that woman and one other did, I would be a valuable employee who could dictate my availability and do what I wanted.

      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.
