Pros

Tax course is extremely educational, sets a strong personal foundation for filling out your own personal tax returns in the future; management is friendly but it feels condescending; flexible schedule; temporary employment can help those needing immediate employment

Cons

Management stresses superiority of products and services that are overpriced and not any better than Turbo Tax or other income tax websites; few opportunities for permanent employment; manager's meetings are waste of time

Pros

Block is a good place to learn about the tax preparation business. The training is what you make of it...you can learn just about anything about taxes that is available. It is a great way to make money on a part-time, seasonal basis. It is fairly easy to obtain a job with the company - if you have management experience, it is easy to become an office manager. With hard work over time, (several years) you can create conditions where you are making a good amount of money ($10-$20k) in a realtively short period of time. (2-3 months) The pay is commission-based - with a draw that does not have to be paid back if you do not make enough to cover the draw.

Cons

This is not a full-time job. Only those who work in the corporate office, or who are District Managers level and above have the opportunity to work full-time. The initial hourly draw pay is poor for entry-level workers - for the first two years, it is much lower than one would expect. It is still not what you would expect for long-term employees and/or office managers. Because of this, turnover is higher than you would expect for a company this size. There is little incentive for entry-level people to return - could be a problem for Block in the future.
