Pros

-Best compensation and bonus offerings of any employer Ive seen -Excellent work/life balance, no cap on vacation as long as used reasonably -Incredibly good outlook, stock has literally doubled -Business balances old and new ways of providing services to their customers -Excellent benefits from health insurance to mental health -Multiple ways to develop yourself from LinkedIn Learning, to HR Block Academy, BetterUp, etc -Good balance of ways to allow you to work, from hybrid to fully remote -Effective and motivational townhalls -Very proactive thinking instead of reactive that Ive seen in other employers -Virtually non-existent toxicity in the workplace compared to other places -Amazing HQ facility in KC

Cons

-Occasional transitions can lack adequate detail on their planned execution for the stakeholders that will be impacted by them -Occasional asks from senior management can come with very short notice or adequate detail on what's needed and as a result came come across as not being very organized -Direction to people leaders on how to assess their talent can contradict from one meeting to the next which can be frustrating sometimes. And calling this out is not met very well by senior leadership.

Pros

H&R Block provides thorough training, and employees should expect to study continuously throughout the season. The training is valuable and helps build a strong understanding of tax preparation. There are opportunities to "level up," and advancing through the certification levels can lead to higher pay over time. Management is approachable and readily available when assistance is needed.

Cons

The position is seasonal, and the starting pay is $12 per hour. During peak tax season, employees may work very long hours—sometimes up to 10 hours a day, 6 to 7 days a week—which can be physically and mentally exhausting. In my first month, I also found that some of the staff were not especially welcoming, which made the initial adjustment more challenging.
