      TERRIBLE COMPANY TO WORK AT AVOID AT ALL COSTS - Tax Associate H&R Block Employee Review

      Pros

      There's a lot of downtime. The manager didn't force me to do any cleaning.

      Cons

      A lot. Here's a list 1. TERRIBLE PAY. As in worse than the local taco bell pay. Starting pay is 10 a hour, no time off, and negligible benefits. 2. Unpredictable hours. Some days you work like 12 hours and others its only 2 hours and your gone. 3. Upper management is extremely immoral and disconnected from reality. Upper management constantly screws over older employees out of their commission, pays interns unlivable wages, and expects managers to work 60+ hours on a salary that a Mcdonalds shift manager would scoff at. Overall, I'm surprised anybody works at that awful company.

      Pros

      Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

      Cons

      Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
