Poor wages.Substandard, un-appreciated. A retail clerk gets paid more than you do as the receptionist at the tax office. - Avis employé Administrative Assistant/Client Service Professional H&R Block
Salaries at the tax office are abysmal. No where in the career website does it mention the pay rate. If you have a college degree, stay away. It's not worth it. You could flip burgers for more money.
It’s a job and I hear they will hire anyone if you pass their tax class which they will most likely pay for because they treat their employees so bad that people drop like flies.

Only one bathroom at our location which is in a shopping center. Distract Manager does not care if you are a woman. He purposely schedules you alone and the creepy clients are allowed in the back room without supervision. I just had a client walk in on me because they refused to fix the lock until they sent someone back unattended in this creepy back hall way that goes to our restroom,. Sorry that happened to you, we fixed the lock but letting clients unattended in our back took and back door unattended is ok. That’s the email I got back from this dm.
If you get in the right office you can have amazing coworkers and can learn so much. You can gain a ton of experience and knowledge if you are willing to work and collaborate with other preparers. Training is robust and is there for you to utilize and work your way up to higher salary. The potential to earn a full years salary working for half the year once trained up to a higher level and build your book of business.

Communication is often not the best and in the offseason you are off boarded or get reduced salary and only work a day or two a week
