Pros

Lots of opportunity to move around the organization from field roles to corporate roles.

Cons

In seven years, there were five different CEOs. Constantly changing vision made it hard to know what success looks like as a field leader

H & R Block Franchise for 4 states

Pros

This company has franchises in at least 4 states

Cons

They cheat their employees out of bonuses, require them to work overtime, but will not acknowledge them or pay them overtime. They also refuse to buy office supplies and tell you to pay for them out of your own pocket if you need them, require you to sometimes hold you paycheck so it won't bounce, and cheat clients out of money by excessively overcharging. They refuse to pay employees for training. They refuse to offer more the $7.25 min wage regardless of experience or tenure. They say they will pay a bonus, but find ways to cheat them out of that as well.

Pleasant but disorganized

Pros

Very amenable to employee's with special accommodation requests; Works with employee to maintain work/life balance; generally pleasant working environment; many opportunities for training

Cons

Some districts' training schedules are not finalized until the week of classes- if you're teaching you may not know until that day. Scheduling hours during tax season is very problematic; difficult to impose when you will be working (same as above). Hiring promises are not always kept- positions maybe be offered verbally and then rescinded at a later date.
