Pros

It is a supportive environment where the more senior staffs are always willing to share their knowledge.

Cons

1. Office manager needs to learn how to train junior staffs. Learning on the job means you need to guide and review the work of junior staffs on the new type of returns that he/she prepares. It is not sufficient to just refer to another customer file as example when it comes to tax matters. 2. You can't make much money as a casual as there could be no work at all in off-peak. 3. The so call bonus is hard to achieve. The bonus for return associates are no where to be seen. In short, it is good for flexibility, but not when you are after a constant income stream.

Pros

Amazing company culture. Employees genuinely love hanging out with the interns and would take us to lunch to chat about anything we wanted.

Cons

I didn't get to pick the exact information technology placement, it was random for all the incoming interns.

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.
