Pros

If you are looking for an opportunity to earn supplimental income, whether at a second job for already emplyed professionals or just for a season, H&R Block is a great place to work. It can be pretty intense during the tax season (Jan 2 through April 17), but the income possibilities, especially for returning associates, can't be beat. YOu can work full-time hours, or part-time, evenings, days or weekends and they can vary from week to week, which makes this a great place for full-time homemakers to earn that extra income for a family vacation or just to help make ends meet.

Cons

seasonal - very little full time opportunities, income stream is not steady even during tax season. Can be tough to earn a good income if saddled in a slow office

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
