      Pros

      Further training opportunities, well-known name, wide demographic range of clients.

      Cons

      Too much in-person tax prep, hour allotments for all appointments, regardless of complexity of a client's tax situation, poor tax production software (buggy), poor scheduling software, I also have never had such aggravation with the FRICTION the software/AI is causing here. It is impeding our work and angering clients. It can be hard to look up and find how to fix. Now, we have to report things to some tech support team half across the globe? That hopefully addresses it before our deadlines. But it usually gets added to its endless list of "known issues". I actually did a couple of state returns BY HAND, completely bypassing the software. Ugh.

      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.
