Pros

Has some good people who are very dedicated to their jobs. HR is seen as an asset in this organization. Traveled to support various locations is nice. During the tax season (January-April), you are very busy. Things calm down after mid May, so you can catch your breath. You will never be bored in this posiiton.

Cons

Business is trending downward. With the advent of Turbo Tax and being able to do your own taxes at home online, the business model of coming into an H&R Block office to get your taxes done is becoming obsolete and very expensive, relative to the software that Inuit provides (TurboTax). If you are interested in working for Block, you need to keep this in mind. Layoffs have occured over the recent years and this is the reason why H&R Block ishas been losing business.

Pros

The average employee is dedicated to the company and believes in the product. There are many opportunities to give back to the community.

Cons

No raises or bonuses the past two years. Management feels everyone should be happy to still have a job. Management by fear and retaliation. Benefits and perks are being cut out yearly.
