Pros

I worked in 2 offices for 1 tax season. The 2nd office I worked at was amazing. The office manager was really helpful and friendly. The tax pros were too. They were really grateful to have me there as a receptionist to help out.

Cons

In a bad office, the manager is barely there. The office manager schedules their own appointments for friends/families and will be the only thing they do the whole tax season. In my experience, the office manager for the first office I worked at wouldn't even show up for appointments she scheduled. The tax pros talked about coworkers and clients, and acted like they didn't need my help while complaining they have too much work to do to not have a receptionist.

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.
