Pros

co workers were all very nice and helped each other out, environment was clean, inviting, and definitely well organized. The flexibility of hours were great! The training was thorough and followed up on. The geographic locations of these stores made it an easy commute.

Cons

seasonal work - was expecting a much higher rate of pay -expectations of work were that of any other job plus some extra duties that really had nothing to do with what I was hired for- but with zero benefits and a very low pay scale. Hours of operation were switched around the whole time making it difficult to be able to count on hours.

Pros

Company is great educational tool, employees gain a wealth of comprehensive knowledge on corporate concepts and tax theory. Team work with other tax professionals flows well to research issues that may arise.

Cons

The pay does not equal the knowledge required for the positions. Another con, Office Managers are a train-wreck in the offices, no manageral, marketing or tax skills.

Pros

The best thing for me is the seasonal employment , classes in the fall and then working January thru April 15. I also enjoy working with all my clients and building a relationship with them from year.

Cons

The worst thing about working for H & R Block is that it is almost impossible to advance your pay rate, as it is all based on the number of returns and the price charged for each return, which some of the prices are way out of line. No matter how many classes you take to advance your working title, you don't get rewarded with a pay raise. If you don't get enough returns your pay rate is cut.
