Pros

The company has longevity in the market and great name recognition. The tax professionals and franchisees that are the engine of the company are dedicated and great employees. The company has a strong focus on continuing education.

Cons

Layoffs in May are a common theme. As soon as tax season ends, the corporate staff start walking on eggshells. Even in years where the tax season went well, you can count on "right-sizing" occurring. Too much institutional knowledge is swept out the door on an annual basis. It doesn't seem like poor performers are the ones targeted for layoffs either. In their most recent wave of firings, employees who had just finished Block School (training offered to select few who are identified as future leaders in the company) were let go. Their actions do not match their mission statement. Check Linkedin every May for a new group of now former HRB employees announcing their departure.
