Easy to enter into the job market. As soon as you finish their course with 80% or more they consider you as a tax associate or your options are csm or acsm. For new comers this help getting the Canadian experience

Cons

You have to do their course every year to go back to the job next year. Its seasonal so all you can earn is for 3 months.

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.
