      Pros

      H R Block offers extensive training. It begins with a basic tax class that includes both lectures and hands on training. Once an individual passes the Basic Tax Prep Class, they can interview for a position at Block. Passing the course is not a guarantee of employment. After being hired, you will need to tax classes each successive that you wish to return so that you increase your tax knowledge, but also to try to stay up to date with the tax law changes.

      Cons

      The pay could be better, but there are ways to try to increase it over time. It is a seasonal job for which you need to re-apply ever year.

      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.
