Pros

Their training is comprehensive for individuals who have never worked in the tax sector. It provides skills that you can use in your own personal life as well. The office atmosphere is quiet and often employees are isolated in their cubicles, but the people are warm

Cons

For a beginner in tax, there's a decent amount of learning about their products so that you can recommend them to potential or current clients.

Pros

H&R Block provides thorough training, and employees should expect to study continuously throughout the season. The training is valuable and helps build a strong understanding of tax preparation. There are opportunities to "level up," and advancing through the certification levels can lead to higher pay over time. Management is approachable and readily available when assistance is needed.

Cons

The position is seasonal, and the starting pay is $12 per hour. During peak tax season, employees may work very long hours—sometimes up to 10 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week—which can be physically and mentally exhausting. In my first month, I also found that some of the staff were not especially welcoming, which made the initial adjustment more challenging.
