Pros

The company is an equal opportunity employer. 3 of the 6 Tax Associates I worked with were between 78 and 87 years old, and 2 of them had been at H&R Block for 25 years or longer. I learned a lot about tax laws and filing statuses. Also, the clients were very friendly and happy to get their taxes done, even the ones that ended up owing money.

Cons

H&R Block has an online scheduling program and people with more complicated taxes can schedule to have their taxes done by a first year tax associate. I had a few clients that came in to see me that were new to the country and I couldn’t help them. Also, there were clients that came to me that were self-employed because they were doing “gig-work”, and I didn’t know how to file tax deductions. Also, while I was helping my first clients, if I had any questions, I had to bother other tax associates. It would have been better if a dedicated tax associate could have sat with me while I completed my first returns.

Pros

Flexible with time off and work scheduling.

Cons

First year hires come in averaging $18-$25/hr. Pay is based on number of returns done. If you drop from the last year, your pay decreases depending on productivity and that can go to min. wage. Low rate of pay considering the job responsibilities and education you will have to complete for free.
