H&R Block reviews about "pay"

Minimum pays, no benefit. no promotions

low pay for first year tax

Low salary pay for seasonal position

I get paid $13/hr which is after I asked to get compensated more than the base pay of $11/hr.

Company lies about hours offered, high workload for minimum pay. High pressure from corporate that puts profits and reporting over the people,(clients and associates).

As an upper level associate I received much more pay than low level associates. They tell you to build your book of business but then the new manager; who has never prepared a return in her life, tries to take away all your easy returns (the ones you can finish in way less than an hour) and give you all the returns that are complex, which sometimes takes hours to complete. Yes you get paid per filed return and while you get paid more for a complex return it isn’t enough to make up loosing 3 or 4 quick returns. Also, you are expected to help new associates when they run into problems. You will of course be doing this free, you will not be compensated for fixing their errors and sometimes you will need to fix errors that they are making on a return that used to be your client. Again without pay. I could go on

It's only seasonal work even though it would be good to do it year round. Doesn't necessarily pay enough for it to be your only source of income unless you've been there for quite a few years and have many many repeat clients so that you can produce revenue for the company above what they pay you in hourly wages. Which I understand the reasoning behind it but still doesn't make it very sustainable as a career type thing. That being said many of the people come back for 20 plus years to keep working here so that definitely says something.

Not the best pay and training was minimal.

Extremely feast or famine depending on tax season
