      Pros

      The best reason to work for H&R Block is for the tax preparation experience and meeting people in the community. You can also take online courses regarding new tax laws to increase your knowledge and up your hourly pay. It may also be accepted as college credit at some universities at a minimal cost.

      Cons

      The downside of H&R Block is the poor in class instructors and their inablility to instruct in a consistant manner. Also some offices tend to ignore the tax law which puts the taxpayer and the company at risk for audit, fines or imprisonment depending on how bad the offense may be.

      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.
