Pros

You'll answer phones, scan papers, etc. Great if you're looking for a season job

Cons

Clients can be rude, it goes from slow to fast quickly, upper management will sometimes have unrealistic expectations making lower management do things they don't want to do

Pros

When you're lucky enough to get paired with the right tax professionals at your office, it can be quite a pleasurable experience. Job is extremely easy, and I had a lot of downtime. I was also able to file my taxes for free.

Cons

There was a lack of support and understanding from upper management. Technology is outdated and often buggy.

Pros

If you are new to the tax world, you do get a lot of easy hands on experience to get your feet wet as well as get to work with some very knowledgeable folks. Coworkers are great, flexible schedule.

Cons

Block has shifted from a service minded industry to a retail minded industry, which lacks client relationships. Upper management likes to delegate their responsibilities to the managers on site and let them take the blame for their shortcomings but swoops in to take the credit when there is success. Even after multiple complaints to HR and employees leaving the DGM still has a job somehow that he is unfit to hold. I likely would have endured the companies shortcomings longer than my six year run if it wasn’t for such poor oversight of the people put in place to oversee districts. Leading up to and during tax season the training is great but new hires are left in the dust once tax season is over and the turnover is pretty bad, you’re lucky if you get one or two tax pros to stay. Pay is not commensurate with experience.

Pros

Good pay is the only reason for a one star. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Cons

Toxic office staff, favoritism, even physical fights. Upper management tends to favor Tax Pros with higher client returns, and even award them, regardless of how foul they've behave. Too stressful and not worth the time.

Pros

It was a remote position so I was able to work from home.

Cons

Communication was very poor. I was hired as a full-time employee and was laid off at the end of tax season. Cannot get an answer from anyone in an upper management position.
