Pros
There are a few good people still at H&R Block
Cons
This is a highly political company with constant turnover. They preach that they are a people friendly company yet every May there is the annual purge. Frequently followed by refilling the position later. Strategic Planning is non-existent rather is often done on the fly. As a result you can see by the results that they continue to lose clients at alarming rate especially under Cobb ( who profited handsomely). Even this past year they lost returns despite giving them away free. Since 2008 they have had 5 CEOs and are now looking for number 6. Its a company with no direction and a lack of talent at the top with a punitive style of management. Would not recommend to anyone as a place of employment.
