Good training and decent pay, but poor offseason support - Tax Associate H&R Block Employee Review

Loved my team, great skill to have and career adavancement.

Hectic routine, difficult client can cause a lot of issues.

I could go on and on with an endless list of pros working for H&R Block but I list a few that stands out: 1. Management (Both in-office and district-wide) want to support your ability to build a book of business. Before the end of January, I was transferred to high traffic offices with better new-client potential. 2. Most senior and more experienced tax pros are willing to help and supervise you. 3. A great first job in a professional setting (Especially for someone who did not have the opportunity to do an internship). 4. Job helps you develop tax expertise as well as giving you call center, data entry, upselling, client service and financial advising experience. 5. If it's not your first tax season with the firm, you are eligible for an end of season commission (Depending on amount of revenue you brought to the company) in addition to the base pay you recieve as pay for weeks and hours worked.

It's seasonal. You are not eligible for a potential end of season commission if it's your first tax season. You also have to reapply before training begins again around 4th quarter of calender year (Although bear in mind this is due to the continuing education requiremnts of the tax preperation/ tax advisory field in general).
