Pros

One of the best reasons for working here is getting desk job experience. It is only seasonal hire.

Cons

Very hard to get help for answers as tax pros aren't always willing to help. No assistance from managers. Most managers aren't proficient in taxes. Not team based although they try to make it seem like it is.

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.
