Pros

The tax professionals are very dedicated to their clients.

Cons

Guidelines change quickly mid stream. Often the directions for change one arrived after change two had been initiated. There is very little proformance evaluation until a person has done something wrong. Basic evaluations were done by self and reviewed by leaders 2 -3 months later. Feedback is after season is completed and has very little to do with actual proformance more the bottom line. If you had a good year with increase in clients you were rated highly, if you had a bad year you were rated poorly. The evaluation did not address actions or reasons for the outcome.

Pros

Returning tax professionals and office leaders: Get access to tax training, tools and resources, and tax research with the Knowledge Development section of MyBlock.

Cons

My personal opinion is that the H&R B route would sort of be a waste of good brain power & work ethic. There are other ways you can contribute value and maximizing your earning potential while probably working less hours. You need to develop your entrepreneurial initiative a little bit. Here's what I mean:
