Pros

More experienced tax professionals are willing to help the first years

Cons

Sometimes appointments are set for you that are not properly matched. So you think you're doing a simple tax return, but then there's more to the story and now you have to ask the other tax pros how to do things you haven't been taught yet. That's usually fine, but they have their own clients to tend to as well.

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.
