Pros

Partnerships and collaboration are very good and I was able to accomplish a lot of goals. My leader supported me well and gave me tools I needed to be successful. Great peer relationships.

Cons

Senior leaders don't exhibit good leadership skills. Many promotions at the time were given to those that were not skilled in leading. This was based on growing up in the business. That is highly valued.

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.
