H&R Block reviews

The major downsides to working at H&R Block are the lack of benefits, the ever-changing "schedule" you are to work, and the relatively low wages when compared to the rest of the tax and financial planning industry as a whole. You also have to deal with a wide spectrum of clients, some of whom are very polite and nice, while some are very arrogant, angry, and/or downright hostile. While this is a good training environment, it's not for everyone, and there are always people who start work knowing the theory but can't handle the pressures of the clients being "in your face" so to speak. There are also quotas for sales targets, new clients, and so on that must be met or the management will begin to ask you why you aren't producing.

The company seems to be more driven by selling products than by doing taxes. This is a change from when I started in the early 2000s, and my current district manager doesn't seem to care how well I do taxes (I do them *very* well) but only about how many Peace of Minds and Second Looks I can sell.
