Pros

Good bonus compensation, seasonal employment if you choose to. Continue education is cheaper than another place, great EA program. The more you know about taxes, the better the pay gets. It is seasonal, you can choose part-time or full-time during tax season. Great bonus if you can build a good client base, otherwise you break even and its just a little extra cash during the year.

Cons

First year Tax pro are regular wage no bonus, you must built your own client base. Seasonal. After tax season you get laid off or you can choose to work part-time at lower pay. No benefits unless a year-round employee.

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.
