Pros

The training is excellent for the price, my trainer and your boss really good on what they do, years and years of experience and they are willing to work with you, they were flexible , they need you. You learn so much and it is so much information to take all in in small time, I recommended to only people who really like to do numbers, and work with customers , this is a great program to start your careers in Accounting and Taxes. This is great even for your personal taxes, help your family. Build great relationships, the extensive case studies help you for the real work

Cons

Very stressful in the pick season and sometimes when you have questions there is no time and you have to ask your customer to come back later and then you have to review it with the experts, or as always there are exceptions and special cases that only the experts know, but that's the nature of your job, is taxes. Sometimes drama in the office, I stay away and do my job, experienced tax prepayers jealous of new comers, it was not our fault to have so much volume of customers. Pay- They don't pay competitively an hour specially for a tax prepayer who knows more than 1 language. Should offer incentives like the person who did more taxes, efficiency, ect to pay them a bonus, so it could create healthy competitive enviroment and reward the person who is talented, also can come back next year and not go to a competitor which will offer you 10 to 20 percent more.

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.
