Pros

It is not manual labor, great company support network. It is fun helping clients and get thanked for your knowledge and services. Motivating incentive payments. can do your homework when its not busy and your manager is not picky.

Cons

very low base pay, very scarce opportunity for advancement. Most positions are seasonal. and of course, along with that, no benefits. And job satisfaction will have a lot to do with how you are managed, good vs. bad manager.

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.
