Pros

Flexible and good coworkers. Easy job.

Cons

I worked for them 3 tax seasons and it was nice in the beginning. They kept telling everyone that if you would learn to do taxes you could stay on longer at the end of tax season. I figured out quick that you may be employed but wouldn't get very many hours. I got for hours per week. The management took most of the hours.

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.
