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.

Pros

As a first year tax preparer you get to learn a lot. I was paid for the 60 hours of training necessary to be certified as a tax preparer in my state. I got a lot of help from the senior tax pro in my office, so I feel ready to come back next year and do well. I enjoyed helping find people all their deductions and sending them away happy with their refund. It seems like it may work out as a source of extra money during the winter for a number of years to come.

Cons

The starting hourly pay is pretty low. To be fair though, they are spending a lot of money to train you. After your first year you work on commission with a low hourly pay guarantee. I understand that the experienced preparers can do quite well.
