Pros

As soon as you start working here, you can tell H&R Block hires the right people with the right attitudes. Among the employees, there is an overall sense of optimism, agility, and respect. H&R Block is a leading company, adapting to new technology, ideas, and improvements. Our culture truly makes an impact on how we work as a company day to day. The CEO is a great leader to the company, and shares his vision for the future with us. The compensation is fair and opportunities for advancement are available. Short term incentives, tuition assistance, and different benefit plans are available.

Cons

We need to build more of a stable relationships between our Corporate and Field employees. We have the tools to do so, it's just something that will take time.

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.
