Pros

Challenging environment, good tax software, pretty good training resources although H&R Block no longer allows employees to have text books. Clients are usually appreciative but give negative reviews because of the prices.

Cons

Pressure to sell unnecessary products which affect your commission, unpredictable hours. High expectations from management to be small business certified and no extra compensation for this certification.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Cons

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
