Pros

This can be a good option for those who has no or little experience and are willing to take classes or training about taxes. The time is very flexible, office/district managers may let you pick the time frame that fits for schedule. Co-workers are friendly and supportive and help newbies.

Cons

- Low pay: First year tax pros may get only minimum wages, no commision in the first year at H&R Block - Commission starts in the 2nd year working for H&R Block but you have to keep your work very productive to get the commision. - Stressful: Some clients are rude and have no patience.

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.
