Enjoyed my time; found upscaling difficult

Pros

I learned so much from my training and my time working at HRB. People with whom I worked were knowledgeable and friendly for the most part. Clients were varied and I enjoyed meeting them.

Cons

When it came to upscaling skills (a requirement if one wanted to work beyond current season), I found the online education system confusing, because it’s never purged “old” courses. Also so many outdated courses were so similarly named that you could think you were doing the right course only to find later it didn’t count. Help from coworkers wasn’t forthcoming.

Pros

Unfortunately this is one company where they have no pros. Even the pay is less than Mc d or target… imagine that!

Cons

1. They lie about the pay in the interview. 2. Erratic scheduling. 3. I faced blatant racism from a client and my manager did nothing about it. 4. Overcharging the clients. 5. Bait and switch practices are a norm. 6. Avoid the place. They pay is not even livable.
