Pros

If you are looking for an opportunity to earn supplimental income, whether at a second job for already emplyed professionals or just for a season, H&R Block is a great place to work. It can be pretty intense during the tax season (Jan 2 through April 17), but the income possibilities, especially for returning associates, can't be beat. YOu can work full-time hours, or part-time, evenings, days or weekends and they can vary from week to week, which makes this a great place for full-time homemakers to earn that extra income for a family vacation or just to help make ends meet.

Cons

seasonal - very little full time opportunities, income stream is not steady even during tax season. Can be tough to earn a good income if saddled in a slow office

Pros

Compensation and benefits are quite good

Cons

The organization has become very political and promotions are only given if you are in the "in crowd" instead of given to those that have done a fantastic job. I have seen great people passed up for promotions and have seen people that have failed badly given promotions.

Pay is in the upper tier when you look at the benefits and bonus opportunity and location is great.

Management needs to better understand how to lead teams and have better communication throughout Department levels.
