H&R Block First Year Tax Pro reviews

Where to start? HORRIBLE pay (MINIMUM WAGE and no commission, considering the amount of responsibility you have to take on), micromanaging office managers who will yell at you if you so much have any food on your desk. Yet they expect you to get new customers and sell H&R Block's services on your own time without pay, yet will ream you out if you take too long a bathroom break. They throw you to the wolves right away making you do tax returns that you're not prepared for and then when you ask a senior associate for help (if you can even find one that's not also swamped) they look at you with disgust like you're being a burden. They're constantly understaffed which when you consider the crumbs they pay first years should never happen. You have to pay out of your own pocket for required training. And God help you if you don't throw that bagel wrapper away fast enough after lunch, the desk police will come after you. EXTREME micro-management, I'm surprised they don't require permission to use the bathroom, which by the way they expect employees to clean since they're too cheap to hire a cleaning service. Unless you're looking to a career in tax preparation, just don't even consider them! It ain't worth the aggravation, pitiful pay and abusive micromanagement.
