Pros

H&R Block does a great job with tax education because you pay only $20 fee for as many tax classes as you want to take so sky is the limit for education on taxes. If you were on your own it would probably cost $5000 or more for this kind of tax education. another awesome thing is the software they use is best in the industry it would cost you thousands of dollars to get this kind of software. yes senior tax preparers do get more accounts even entry level preparers complain about this happening but they have built these accounts over the years and have ownership of these accounts as long as you are at H&R Block.

Cons

They need to encourage more people to become enrolled agents and need to have better incentive for preparers to build their business. The pay scale could be better especially in the commission area. back in the day H&R Block had a much more lucrative commission.

Pros

Depending on your level, it can be a very nice place to work.

Cons

It's more about tenure than results. Longevity is rewarded over driving results so it becomes a culture of mediocrity. Headquarters is disturbingly political with one click coming to power and firing those they feel aren't united with their click. It has gotten better though. Maybe they are finally stabilizing a bit but they still have a major reorganization every year so you never know from one year to the next if you'll still have a job.
