Pros

Work from anywhere environment Flexibility Generous dependent care leave policy Unlimited Pay

Cons

Everyone is competing for a limited number of director, VP and executive positions, making advancement difficult Layoffs are very common. It is normal to login and find a whole department has been eliminated. They are a tax company that wants to be a tech company. They care more about AI and other technology than they do about the tax filing experience

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.
