      Enjoyable work environment, but pay is lacking

      Pros

      I don't know how they do it but working at H&R Block is genuinely enjoyable and I've met so many great people there. You get a real solid understanding of individual tax returns but after that point growth is limited. Sets you up for being extremely strong in individual tax which can serve you better than starting out as a graduate accountant in public practice.

      Cons

      The pay isn't great. Even as an office manager the pay doesn't increase much and you depend on bonuses, which I feel don't compensate. If you were to go to any other public practice the pay would be much better and you would get more exposure to different areas of tax. With a caveat that public practice can be extremely stressful and toxic. H&R Block is the exception!

      Flexible hours, but lower pay for those who applied through HR Blocks' tax prep classes

      Pros

      Fairly flexible working hours - though be prepared for slow times in January - February

      Cons

      If you apply through HR Blocks' taxprep classes (which you pay for) you will be offered a lower rate of pay. I encountered another employee who tested in that was paid ~14.25/hr During training hours before you come into the office, you'll be paid less. While attending the online 'orientation' type classes i was paid 11/hr
