Pros

The people are great, the outlook for the company is healthy and it's got a great atmosphere. The leadership team is personable and seem to be taking the company in the right direction. The headquarters is right in the heart of Kansas City and a beautiful new building with lots going on all around.

Cons

Only real con is that it is in the Midwest but Kansas City is great.

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.
