      Pros

      H&R Block strives to provide the strongest tax theory training for it's Tax Preparers and works diligently to improve the tools and resources available to it's Associates. There is a strong focus on Client Service and has been increased emphasis on Associate Satisfaction in recent years. 90%+ of positions are Seasonal annually in the January through April timeframe. Best Pro for considering working at H&R Block is that it is the Industry Leader and has strong stability - having been providing it's products and services for almost 60 years.

      Cons

      Too much pressure to sell additional add on products to Clients and Field Leadership is forced to evaluate Associates performance more based on these aspects than the accuracy of the returns they prepare and their overall Tax Knowledge. Associate Benefits have been minimized even though senior leadership consistently touts desire to increase employee satisfaction.

      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.
