Pros

HRB is more than decent for a FinTech company. SLT emphasizes work-life balance and a positive environment. Cautious financial approach has prevented layoffs for several years.

Cons

Upper and middle management don't always have the same focus on WLB as the SLT. Opportunities for upward movement are limited, but to a degree that's a price paid for no layoffs.

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.
