Pros

Great training, many classes available to current employees. Usually management is flexible with hours. Staying very current, actually ahead, of tax updates. File own and friends and family returns for very little fee.

Cons

Pay structure is weird, you get minimum pay and if at the end of a tax season your commissions are higher than the overall hourly paid so far that year you get THE DIFFERENCE AS A BONUS on your W-2, now, bonuses are taxed at a higher rate, #1, and #2, you do not see that money until the end of the season, and #3, a large chunk of it is taken out for taxes and you have to wait till the end of the year to get a refund. The hourly pay is minimal, my gardener and a cleaning lady get more, and in cash. It is not a career, it is a supplemental income job. And you have to get "rehired" every year, go through the application and interview process every time.

Pros

If you need part-time work to generate unemployment compensation during the off-season, this job's for you. Costs a few hundred bucks to take the initial training class, but worth it, if you want to generate unemployment compensation during the off-season. You can define your availability, and they'll keep within that. So if you need a second job to dig out of debt, for example, this job's okay.

Cons

No real compensation beyond close-to-minimum wage, until maybe your 3rd year. Convoluted, confusing pay structure, which leads you to believe you could make more money each year, but actually, it's based on the pricing of the tax returns, and their price increases don't keep up with your pay structure. Upper management are corporate robots & cheerleaders, spouting corporate jargon, rah-rah-rah!

More and more knowledge is required, but pay isn't commesurate with experience. You can make more flipping burgers.

Pros

You may meet some wonderful people and get experience with a wide variety of returns, but there is a lot of pressure-actually far too much stress to perform in a small window of time and to connect with the client and to convince them to return-to you-the following season.

Cons

The biggest downside to H&R Block is that you can never become a true professional. The business is simply too seasonal and the pay is far too low-----far far too low------to enable you to truly make a living.
