      Not worth the effort

      Pros

      If you can afford the training classes, its a nice way to subsidize your current employment.

      Cons

      You must pay for your own training classes. You sign a noncompete which makes the classes you pay for worthless because you can't go work somewhere else.

      Overall a good place to work, though of course employment is seasonal.

      Pros

      Excellent training. Block is a great place to learn about taxes from the ground up. They will teach you everything you need to know to do a personal income tax return. Also, the pay was good at my office. They paid based on a percentage of the dollar volume of tax returns prepared. In my office the hours were extremely flexible and there were several experienced preparers that could answer any question known to mankind about personal taxes.

      Cons

      It is my understanding that most offices do not pay as generously as mine did (though that may have just been what the branch owner told me so that I'd think I was really lucky to work at his office). One of the hardest things for me was dealing with a lot of low income people that were struggling financially and then having to offer them rapid refunds - which can be very expensive - just so that they can get their refund a week or two faster. Even though I explained to them that they could wait and not pay the additional fees, I still felt like the Block way (in regards to rapid refunds) was that if the customer didn't know better then that was their problem.

      Pros

      Everyone in my office worked as a team and was willing to asisst clients and provide the best customer service.

      Cons

      It is seasonal for most employees, so when you return for the next tax season you forget some material. Eventhough they provide training during the summer for the license renewal and in December before tax season. Wish it would offer more postions year round.
