      Pros

      Depending on the store location you have potential to build a nice clientele that will come to you the following year. The experienced tax associates are very helpful to the first year associates when it comes to preparing more complex tax returns.

      Cons

      First year the pay is less and you don't get a commission bonus until your second year. If you work in an office with multiple more experienced tax associates there's a good chance you won't get much clientele to your desk.

      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.
