Pros

Excellent, if not the BEST tax training you can get. Valuable experience, if you can get any hours.

Cons

Limited office support once you start work, you are left to fend for yourself fixing computer issues, cash receipts etc. Tax pros are also expected to clean the toilet and carry the garbage. Hours are adhoc, you are expected to be available if and when needed.

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.
