      Pros

      Very few. Decent tax training during the off-season.

      Cons

      In general, a terrible place to work. It is not easy to build a client base, particularly when prices were considered to be so outrageous by potential new clients. I barely got any hours to work during my 3rd and last season. Therefore, most of my clients were taken by other Tax Pros that would get most hours, and the best hours, since I was normally given Friday nights and Sunday afternoons, regardless if I had booked appointments during the previous season. One time I referred a client to the Premium Office, and never got the $25 referral fee. In any event, it did not matter, I knew I was not going to come back. So, from 110+ returns during my first season at a Wal-Mart, I went down to about 15 returns during my last season. Great advancement!

      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.
