Pros

The manager at the time was really down to earth and nice to work for. There are opportunities to learn other things, if you want them.

Cons

The pay stinks. It's seasonal. Unless you want to prepare taxes, you won't make much money. If you do prepare taxes, be prepared to work LONG hours from the beginning of January - mid April.

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.
