Pros

I enjoyed the flow of the day even around mid April! It was busy but not overwhelming in the office that I was in.

Cons

I did not realize it was a retail business - which has a whole different flavor than professional. The people who have been with HRB for a long time have noted that the culture has changed - they used to pour more into their employees and take care of them; now the employees take care of employees.

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.
