      Pros

      The best thing for me is the seasonal employment , classes in the fall and then working January thru April 15. I also enjoy working with all my clients and building a relationship with them from year.

      Cons

      The worst thing about working for H & R Block is that it is almost impossible to advance your pay rate, as it is all based on the number of returns and the price charged for each return, which some of the prices are way out of line. No matter how many classes you take to advance your working title, you don't get rewarded with a pay raise. If you don't get enough returns your pay rate is cut.

      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.
