Pros

You can pick your own hours and holiday time. Fun people to work with during tax season

Cons

LOW WAGE. Been there almost a decade and just make over minimum wage. Work off season but there is no bonus for doing the same amount of sales like during tax season. Company acts like they are doing you a favour by keeping you part-time during off season.

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.
