Pros

They offer training for the position. You have to pay for the course and there’s no guarantee that you would be hired but the courses are good.

Cons

Hourly rate is so unbelievably low. By far this is the lowest paying job i have had since before college and it is. not an easy job. They’re unorganized and unreliable with their scheduling. They don’t have enough supplies for employees to use and what they have is often broken.

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.
