Pros

Unfortunately I cannot think of many. The people were nice, but the management level was clueless and ill trained so they pushed the line all the time.

Cons

Since this is seasonal - people are treated like they are expendable. It is all about performance which is rated on a retail scale. Every goal is short term and they do not care who they run over to get there. A weird combo of financial services and retail.

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.
