I worked at H&R Block while getting at accounting degree. I thought the class they offered was better than the tax class I took at the university. The hours weren't too bad working, they varied alot during the season, and during slow times I was able to study while at work. Both years I worked there I made $14 a hour after my bonus/commission, which is paid at the end of the season. Get to know the district manager, and it will pay off. I did and was able to get a part time position at the year round office as well as be able to teach a class.
As for helping you in the accounting field I strongly recommend this. The CPA firm I work at now hired me b/c I was the only applicant with tax experience. At career fairs I have had employers say they weren't interested in giving me an internship until they got to Block on my resume, then they were happy to meet with me again. Working at Block made finding a job MUCH easier.
