Pros

Good seasonal job to earn some extra money and to gain tax experience if interested in accounting or for general knowledge. Friendly co-workers. $20 a year gets you unlimited continuing education classes. Great place to build tax skills!

Cons

The hourly rate isn't that great, but you do make commission that is paid in the form of a bonus check in May after the tax season is over. There is sales involved by trying to upsell various products. Hours can very greatly. The peak season (end of Jan./early Feb. and mid April) can get hectic at times.

Pros

H&R Block is very flexible... They understand the importance of family but at the same time remember business come 1st with them.

Cons

Very demanding work environment and number oriented to meet goals for stock holders. No excuses are ever accepted about why goals aren't met. If you can't take being micro-managed, this company is not for you.
