H&R Block Manager reviews

No raises or bonuses the past two years. Management feels everyone should be happy to still have a job. Management by fear and retaliation. Benefits and perks are being cut out yearly.

The culture. A disappointment is to see how what is said to employees is not always the whole truth. For example, HR may say all associates are equally valued and that all associates are treated fairly but in reality, what applies to the larger employee body doesn't necessarily apply to the people who make the rules. It is a hierarchal culture at H&R Block. It would benefit the organization if it would not try to present itself as anything but that. Associates are told to be frugual, to cut expenses, to work more due to cutting out jobs. At the same time executives are encurring large costs by changing travel plans at the last minute, enjoying a private jet, and having expensive dinners on the corporate dime. That sends a negative message to associates.
