Pros

This role as a Seasonal Tax Researcher at H&R Block is an excellent entry point for anyone interested in tax law or financial services. It provides a unique, hands-on opportunity to learn complex tax code in a structured yet supportive environment. The company's commitment to remote work and flexible scheduling makes this a truly appealing position, especially for students, parents, or those seeking supplemental income.

Cons

As a seasonal role, there are no employee benefits (such as health insurance or paid time off) provided with this position. Furthermore, the work is strictly temporary and ends once the tax season concludes. If you are seeking a career path, it is important to know that permanent, year-round roles are far and few between. Securing one of these positions is incredibly competitive, as you are often competing against highly experienced researchers who have completed multiple years of seasonal work, making it highly unlikely for new hires to transition into a permanent role. Lastly, the pay is not commensurate with my level of education.

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
