      H&R Block reviews

      Pros

      First hand and in-depth exposure to new IRS rules. Great people in my office to work with. Meet new people, clients, and keep my returning clients. Close to where I live. Keeps me up to date to get my own taxes done as well as my client's taxes.

      Cons

      I need to stick with the business year round in order to properly keep up with things, but still every year when tax season ends I am laid off again. My hourly income has actually gone down throughout the years due to them claiming different pay scales. Classes that are cheap but I still am required to pay for in order to start a new tax season.

      Pros

      If you get in the right office you can have amazing coworkers and can learn so much. You can gain a ton of experience and knowledge if you are willing to work and collaborate with other preparers. Training is robust and is there for you to utilize and work your way up to higher salary. The potential to earn a full years salary working for half the year once trained up to a higher level and build your book of business.

      Cons

      Communication is often not the best and in the offseason you are off boarded or get reduced salary and only work a day or two a week
