Pros

Great for gaining experience Great for those that want to work part time Awesome coworkers Great for high school age/ college students

Cons

You only make $8 an hour. The distance sucks. My position was basically just a receptionist, yet a lot of the required meetings were not targeted at the receptionists at all. The training was tedious and parts were unnecessary. Not many hours. They will hire about 2-5 receptionists for one office, so you'll only get about 10-25 hours a week. This is also a seasonal job - only through tax season. You may get 40 hours in the last couple of weeks there, during the busiest time, which is up until April 15th.

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.
