Pros

If you need part-time work to generate unemployment compensation during the off-season, this job's for you. Costs a few hundred bucks to take the initial training class, but worth it, if you want to generate unemployment compensation during the off-season. You can define your availability, and they'll keep within that. So if you need a second job to dig out of debt, for example, this job's okay.

Cons

No real compensation beyond close-to-minimum wage, until maybe your 3rd year. Convoluted, confusing pay structure, which leads you to believe you could make more money each year, but actually, it's based on the pricing of the tax returns, and their price increases don't keep up with your pay structure. Upper management are corporate robots & cheerleaders, spouting corporate jargon, rah-rah-rah!

Pros

H&R Block provides thorough training, and employees should expect to study continuously throughout the season. The training is valuable and helps build a strong understanding of tax preparation. There are opportunities to "level up," and advancing through the certification levels can lead to higher pay over time. Management is approachable and readily available when assistance is needed.

Cons

The position is seasonal, and the starting pay is $12 per hour. During peak tax season, employees may work very long hours—sometimes up to 10 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week—which can be physically and mentally exhausting. In my first month, I also found that some of the staff were not especially welcoming, which made the initial adjustment more challenging.
