Pros

At the start of the tax season everything was going just fine. The store was ran smoothly, my boss was helping when needed, and we were pretty well staffed. I enjoyed the employees I had, they were all lovely people.

Cons

By the beginning of March my store was down to 3 other employees, and then myself. Being horribly understaffed was a major issue, it seemed, at multiple locations. The turnover rate was high.

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.
