Pros

Company is great educational tool, employees gain a wealth of comprehensive knowledge on corporate concepts and tax theory. Team work with other tax professionals flows well to research issues that may arise.

Cons

The pay does not equal the knowledge required for the positions. Another con, Office Managers are a train-wreck in the offices, no manageral, marketing or tax skills.

Pros

Good seasonal part time work, gives you flexibility to work around other jobs or interests. I enjoy the direct client contact, every client is unique so it keeps the work interesting.

Cons

Takes time to build a client base and your pay is based on the volume of work you produce.

Pros

The best thing for me is the seasonal employment , classes in the fall and then working January thru April 15. I also enjoy working with all my clients and building a relationship with them from year.

Cons

The worst thing about working for H & R Block is that it is almost impossible to advance your pay rate, as it is all based on the number of returns and the price charged for each return, which some of the prices are way out of line. No matter how many classes you take to advance your working title, you don't get rewarded with a pay raise. If you don't get enough returns your pay rate is cut.
