Pros

Very flexible schedule. You pick the days and shifts you want to work. Clearly defined career path and requirements for attainment.

Cons

Starting pay not that great. Benefits nothing to sing praises about. Hard to understand compensation plan. Expected to work hard through peak season and then lay you off until second peak season

Pros

One of the advantages of working for H&R Block is the flexibility. I was able to work 3 nights per week during tax season.

Cons

I did not like having to call clients from previous years to "remind" them to come back again this year. I'm a tax preparer, not a salesperson.

Pros

Flexible schedules are very easy to obtain. Helping people can be extremely rewarding and the client relationships formed are favorable for the most part.

Cons

Block has too many retail locations to be adequately supported by its customer base. Fees have been increased accordingly to support the numerous bricks and mortar locations opened in the last five years.
