This was one of my favorite companies I've worked for. Everyone was helpful, family like environmental, and full of positive energy. My duties was not limited to answering the phone and filing. Everyone took me under their wings to teach me about taxes and the proper way to prepare taxes.

Pros and Cons
Family environment, room to grown, daily teachings

I have been an ATL (Office Manager) with H&R Block for 4 years. I have enjoyed every moment and the intensity that comes at the end of the season is the culmination of all of your hard work and dedication.

Pros and Cons
HRB can help enhance your leadership skills.
HRB is not a 9-5 job... but you get used to it and it's only for 4 months.

I was straight out told not to move up, I wouldn't be able to handle it. Then, another company recruited to higher level full-time year round position. When I asked how they found me, they replied several of your customers recommended you. Other comments about get the boxes checked is absolutely correct. Get the boxes check and we all celebrate success never mind what we are standing hip deep in.

Pros and Cons
Turn sales. Bottom line, turn sales.
Never wanted to be a used car salesmen. I want to help people.

I took this job because it was very close to my home and I did not have my license at the time. It was very basic and simple....answer phones, schedule appointments, file paperwork.

Pros and Cons
Get taxes done for free or at discount.
Can be slow and boring at times.

H&R provides a ton of high quality training. If you want to grow it is 100% available to you. I fell in love with tax law and helping small business owners that after my first year I went to study for my Enrolled Agent license which I earned February of year 2. You get great experience because every person who walks in the office is a new situation so it is great exposure. Honestly if I had any complaints it would be that I wished they had more full time options, and more staff because those peak hours during the season you’re staying late and then opening the next day. That does get very draining emotionally and physically.

Pros and Cons
File your taxes for free, on busy weekends the managers bring in food, there is always support
Appointment software has glitches, virtual returns tend to have an issue, low staff

If you don't like to feel like a puppet then don't join this organization. Toxic leadership, everyone is looking to check a box to look good on reports and you will be thrown under the bus in a heart beat for them to look good.

Pros and Cons
Compensation is ok, you have some freedom within the role.
Your word doesn't matter, poor recognition and unorganized work culture. Very toxic senior leaders.

This office was run by a young lady that also was managing another office. There was bad feelings in our office when her brother-in-law as a first year preparer was allowed to handle returns that were above his level. The schedule was made so that she was in the office whenever he was and she would help him. There were people that could handle them but they were scheduled for him to handle. I choose not to return them and have been doing tax on a volunteer basis. I do believe that they are priced to high and that in order for people to get part of their return return early they use them.

Pros and Cons
Met some nice people.
Not a friendly office to work in.

Hr block is a great part time job. The tax season lasts 3 1/2 months . As long as you continue to advance the pay is good . As a senior citizen I was with block for 9 years . I took their tax class and joined the team after graduation. I worked my way from customer service provider to tax pro to office manager .

Pros and Cons
My office was more like a family , which was great ! We all helped each other
During peak weeks be prepared to work long hours

Over the course of 4 years, I went from entry level, guy off the street, to a business analyst with only some college. My results were not typical however. The vast, vast majority of other hires were fired in April as you may imagine and even as a business analyst doing routine report writing (knee deep in this SQL every day) I was 10 month seasonal.

Pros and Cons
Pretty good at recognizing talent.
Seasonal work model reaches baffling heights in the hierarchy.

H&R Block is very professional when tax law is concerned, and one of the top places to have your taxes done. But as far as team work among the preparers is concern they can and should try a little harder. Matthew 22:39 in the Bible. Especially in this time we are living in. Thank you.

Pros and Cons
The learning experience was great.
Ample ordering of supplies when necessary.

Before I went to work with this company, I had over twenty years experience doing tax returns. This company offer an opportunity to become experienced in the vast new technologies of the time. Some what complicated depending on which type of tax situations that occurred. Company very customer oriented, many very good tax professionals were always available. However , their main philosophy, their main objective was to make money, lots of money. They push you hard in order to achieve , at times, some very ridiculous financial goals. any of the associate were great to work with. However they really find ways to screw you our of bonuses, by making on the spot changes in the process as they went along. Very frustrating. Over all, a friar place to work, and if you put a lot of hours in, which they highly control, you could make a descent pay.

Pros and Cons
Basically, I derived great pleasurer in helping people with their financial decisions.
Hourly pay is overall very poor. Upper management is very poor.
