Pros

You can start from zero and in the first year have more than 80 clients that will most likely come back the following year.

Cons

Other tax preparers steal your clients, and if you want to honestly help their clients when they're waiting, they think you want to steal the clients from them, too much paranoia, everyone is in a defensive mode.

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.
