Pros

The people, by and large, are very nice and respectful. Supervisors encourage work/life balance, and mean it when they do so.

Cons

As a data scientist, I find the state of the data difficult to work with. A transformation is underway, and this may remedy many of the difficulties I experienced if it is successful.

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.
