Pros

There are several positives to working with Block. As a district manager, you set your own schedule, the benefits are good, you get to work with some very good people.

Cons

There is a very big disconnect between the corporate HQ and the field. The field doesn't believe HQ understands the challenges that occur with the client and for the most part they are correct. The corporate strategy has been continually trying to pull more work/production from the field for the same/less pay to drive up the stock price. Areas of responsibility are literally 2-3 times as large as they were 5 years ago which leads to huge challenges in being able to execute at a high level. The company has continually advertised free services the past couple years to bring in new clients, but have no plan to retain those clients once they are no longer under the free umbrella.

Pros

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.

Cons

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
