Pros

I love working at HRB. Plenty of opportunities for internal mobility and career growth & development. Love the people I work with, and believe the company is definitely on the right track to stay relevant for the future. There are many busy days/periods of the year, but corporate opportunities provide plenty of flexibility and work-life balance. Beautiful building in the heart of downtown Kansas City, and parking is free!

Cons

I would like to see the company move towards more of a proactive approach to our seasonal business and challenge the status quo a bit more. Increased focus on online/DIY products to maintain a strong brand position. We could also benefit from more formal leadership development programs, as there is currently only 1 program in place, which occurs once per year and is limited in size.

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.
