Pros

Its a good part time job if you want to make a few extra dollars in the winter.

Cons

There aren't any solid incentives to work there. H&R Block has a program in place that attemps to encourage incentive by the opportunity to increase your pay rate each year based on your continuing education with them, there is complex percentage system for people on commission. However, if you work for a Block franchisee, they don't have to implement this system and can just put you on a straight wage in order to save themselves money. I don't think this is a good practice because it does not attract highly skilled and motivated individuals.

Pros

flexible with hours. I did learn a lot. If you always wanted to knwo more about taxes, this will do it.

Cons

No pay for going to training sessions. Most first year tax associates make $9 hour. After that, you make more if you get clients to come to you because you can make so much per return.

Pros

Excellent opportunity for tax training and education. Both at home & in the classroom. Excellent opportunity to expand your own assertiveness in dealing with other people. Excellent playing field for testing yourself and advancing your personal growth.

Cons

In spite of the experience you get, H & R doesn't refer you to anybody. In particulay the accounting industry. Get that through an internship or other experience.
