Pros

The money with a short working season.

Cons

If you get a bad office you will not make any money. Just shove the return out the door. Not enough people to do the work during the busy time. If you work summer service you have to deal with all the mistakes others make. I work for a franchise and the owners only care about the money and what big trips they can take. Most people that been their seven or eight years can only do a simple return. If you come in with experience they will not give credit if outside HR Block even if higher experience.

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

Compensation and benefits are quite good

Cons

The organization has become very political and promotions are only given if you are in the "in crowd" instead of given to those that have done a fantastic job. I have seen great people passed up for promotions and have seen people that have failed badly given promotions.
