H&R Block reviews about "layoff"

Not sure how secure the company is. Layoffs happen regularly.

Company requires 8 week layoff in order to maintain part time status of preparers. Off season work is inconsistent in duration.

Frequent layoffs, poor leadership, NOT agile, lack of opportunity, lack of diversity, poor communication, low pay

inept senior management, outdqted business model, annual layoffs, political in-fighting

Other departments I'm sure are different, but my department was way understaffed, and then they did layoffs. They wouldn't allow us to do overtime, but it was not physically possible to finish our workload in 40 hours. Also a ton of positions were outsourced. I was hired in the middle of tax season even though the person I'd replaced had left 8 months before, and no one had time to train me on anything, even the phones, but I still had to take calls my first week there.

1) There has been a layoff almost every year the past 5 years 2) Declining industry (although they have a growth plan now) 3) Political environment

Layoffs, upper management, communication, mobility, does not pay adequately, does not provide tools to complete job, does not take feedback, benefits (not competitive), no job title listed for my position below, lack of development, no company picnics and other activities to engage employees, uneven distribution, handles

Never sure about job security or performance. Be prepared every spring for layoffs, and those remaining pick up the extra work from the layoffs. Be prepared for your job title not to match your duties and those do not match your pay. If you want to move departments, they will stop you. Be prepared for sketch software or application launches. They rush to get systems launched even if they are terrible.
