      Pros

      It was my first real job so getting accustomed to clocking in, working in an office, having a manager and co-workers was a cool experience. Management and co-workers made it worthwhile.

      Cons

      There was a lot more boring downtime in the office than I expected during tax season. I was new so I didn't have the clientele that the other tax preparers had. So often times, I was sitting at my desk all day twiddling my thumbs or acting as a receptionist when the designated one was not there. Low pay on top of cut hours was not cool either.

      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.
