      Great co-workers, poor benefits.

      Pros

      My co-workers were sane, fun people who were very respectful towards me and helped me learn the ropes. Working there gives you a hefty discount on classes if you decide to pursue certification as a tax prep professional.

      Cons

      During tax season, H&R hires a bunch of part time people so they don't have to pay full time benefits. Still, I was glad to be on hourly; the tax pros have it tough. They don't make a lot if they're not working steadily. Management will also try to make you attend long staff meetings without being paid for your time, sometimes pretty far away, with no compensation. (If you just refuse though, there's no consequences.) My manager also acted like we weren't allowed to swap shifts or request hours when it was inconvenient for him (again, no consequences if you just stand your ground about it in a respectful way).

      Great place to start a career if you have flexibility

      Pros

      You pick your own hours. You only work seasonally, unless you opt to get hired year-round. Seemingly endless opportunity for education for just $20/year.

      Cons

      Starting salary is pretty low. It's not hidden from you, and the incentive is that you make more as you continue to grow your client list, become able to work faster, and to do more complex returns.
