Pros

H&R Block offers a very thorough basic course on personal income taxes. Students who do well on the course have a good chance of being hired as a tax professional. H&R Block offers a great continuing education program that allows one to build up tax expertise and qualify for more advanced positions in the company.

Cons

The compensation for first year tax professionals is modest, about $9 per hour. However, in subsequent years one works on a salary plus commission scheme which is more lucrative. Most tax professional positions are seasonal.

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
