Pros

Flexibility of hours (once you are an experienced tax preparer), part-time supplement to regular income

Cons

Initiatives coming from headquarters are often out of touch with the realities of day-to-day tax preparation. Every tax season seems more disorganized than the last as headquarters institutes poorly planned changes to procedures.

Pros

I love working at Block. If you get in a good office, compensation can be great as well as leadership.

Cons

Advancement if very limited. If you're in a bad office, compensation can be very low. Leadership teams are not that great. It takes a long time for an ineffective leader to lose that position if they are in good with the DM. DMs can change the whole leadership team each time there is a new one, which creates problems throughout the district.
