      Pros

      I very much enjoy doing tax returns and working with most clients, so the job itself is an excellent fit for me. One of the best benefits is all the tax courses available to employees for only $20 a year.

      Cons

      Getting enough hours is sometimes an issue as is getting the hours one is available rather than being asked to work non-preferred hours, however it's not that big a deal in an office where everyone gets along and works as a team. I also wish the pay were a bit higher although I can influence that by raising my certification level through testing - the problem with that is finding the time to do it (non-paid, naturally).

      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.
