      Pros

      Training was very good. I gained respect in my family for my knowledge of taxes. I had great respect and affinity for my manager, she was knowledgeable and approachable. The other tax preparers were knowledgeable and easy to get along with.

      Cons

      The pay was minimum and the hours were limited. After the tax season was over, the next supervisor said do not bother me; follow the system. Many tried but could not get the incorrect local fax number changed on our business cards. Even with that H&R Block had many good people doing a good job for their clients; that is good business.

      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.
