      Pros

      Flexibility around other commitments are reasonable (I have 2 other jobs). Technical and theoretical training is top notch for the industry! Company goals and vision are concise. Sense of community and support with colleagues and managers. Career development opportunities (growth) are existent and accessible with so many resources at your fingertips.

      Cons

      High level commitment of responsibility (on and off season) for success as a tax preparer where base wages are on lower end. Better compensation is weighted more on performance and expertise, which is generally understandable, but may prove challenging for retaining newer professionals. Organizational leadership in offices is inconsistent at times.

      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.
