      Challenging, but fun! - First Year Tax Associate H&R Block Employee Review

      Pros

      Even for a part-time job, Block invest in its preparers full-time. The (obligatory) continuing education the company offers allows preparers to enhance their tax knowledge and skills, and even helps with becoming a licensed EA. The company also makes an attempt to offer its part-timers benefits as well.

      Cons

      Office management and field support are separated, resulting in confusion when preparers need to resolve certain issues (registering for classes, taking off, etc.). Senior management can be schizophrenic - they constantly change important policies, even in the middle of a tax season. Block's software is ancient - the main preparation program is based on DOS!

      Pros

      If you get in the right office you can have amazing coworkers and can learn so much. You can gain a ton of experience and knowledge if you are willing to work and collaborate with other preparers. Training is robust and is there for you to utilize and work your way up to higher salary. The potential to earn a full years salary working for half the year once trained up to a higher level and build your book of business.

      Cons

      Communication is often not the best and in the offseason you are off boarded or get reduced salary and only work a day or two a week
