Pros

Great training and opportunities to learn Relatively easy entry Flexible schedules Good place to get started You learn a lot about preparing taxes and it helps you as well as the clients. Smaller accounting firms may consider hiring you after you've gained some experience.

Cons

Low pay Difficult to get any bonus Inconsistent management among the different locations Short work period A lot depends on which office you work for, and more importantly, the office manager you end up with. Your experience can be great or horrible so you should look for a good office. Also, the work is seasonal so after April 15th you'll be out of a job. Very few new tax preparers can stay on to work off season.

Pros

H & R Block is good for people who like to learn challenging new things. There is always a new tax law to learn and there are always clients who come in with an unique situation. H & R Block provides advancement opportunities through continuing education and by testing. The commissions can be lucrative if you get yourself a lot of clients.

Cons

The job only last from January to April, unless you are a Senior Tax preparer, then you can work all year round. During the off season, the hours are part time.
