Pros

Excellent training done by Block. They truly want to develop their employees into contributing members of their team. All of the management is extremely friendly and creates a fun work environment.

Cons

Very strict guidelines on attendance with little flexibility. This can lead to termination for events that are out of employee control.

Pros

Great training, many classes available to current employees. Usually management is flexible with hours. Staying very current, actually ahead, of tax updates. File own and friends and family returns for very little fee.

Cons

Pay structure is weird, you get minimum pay and if at the end of a tax season your commissions are higher than the overall hourly paid so far that year you get THE DIFFERENCE AS A BONUS on your W-2, now, bonuses are taxed at a higher rate, #1, and #2, you do not see that money until the end of the season, and #3, a large chunk of it is taken out for taxes and you have to wait till the end of the year to get a refund. The hourly pay is minimal, my gardener and a cleaning lady get more, and in cash. It is not a career, it is a supplemental income job. And you have to get "rehired" every year, go through the application and interview process every time.

Pros

Excellent training; friendly co-workers and management on location; working with customers; company is very well organized

Cons

Pay was low, but okay for starter; upper management seemed to make it VERY difficult for managers on location--they were extremely stressed; selling products the clients could not afford, nor did they need; hours vary excessively due to the nature of the business
