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.
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.
