      Pros

      If you want a simple, yet intellectually stimulating job when you have no prior experience, H&R Block may be the place for you to learn on-the-job skills without needing a college degree. It is a great place for an entry level position that is sophisticated enough (taxes anyone?) to look great on a resume. It is not your typical job. Here you can learn about an important life skill-- doing tax returns--and help your community benefit from your knowledge and experience. If this sounds like the role you want, then H&R Block is the place for you.

      Cons

      Clients can be slow and demanding at times. You will definitely be working strenuously the last two weeks before the tax deadline. Be prepared and use the first two or three months of your seasonal position to become efficient in the process as you will end up doing 6-10 returns per day as clients rush in last minute. So use your down time to learn the tax law, and always make sure to follow due diligence requirements. Other than that, this job is as straightforward as a "W-4."

      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.
