Pros

My experience was positive in that I had the chance to tell my manager what days I could work and my schedule was set for the entire time I worked there. There are also lots of online resources for help for employees to use the H&R Block-specific computer programs.

Cons

As a large corporation, H&R Block has a very rigid set of guidelines for practices for its employees. Often employees get caught up with meeting corporate standards and cannot successfully address the problems at hand. Also, it does attract a very wide swath of people and the staff certainly has characters no matter which location.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
