Pluspunten
They train you well to be a taxpro before you start working (tuition is affordable), and then you learn a lot of other important skills while working there, like organizational skills, time management,manning front desk when required, proper filing procedures etc. Good mentoring. Flexible hours.
Minpunten
Seasonal job. Low starting salary. Good extra income or second job. You do not make enough money to make this your main job for living. Even if you wanted to work for H&R Block through out the year and apply for Dist office jobs, there are long gaps of no work. Even when you are working there are gaps where you work less than 10-15 hrs a week, during the slow months. The bonus system with promise of extra income at the end of season only works in a very busy office, if you have back to back appointments with clients through out the season.
