Ventajas
H&R Block offers an impressive opportunity to learn about taxes and tax preparation. The offices have a high standard of organization and a customer-oriented attitude. The region I work for has excellent management.
Desventajas
The median salary at H&R Block is around $16,000 a year. That means one-half of all the 10,000 employees make more than that and the other half doesn't. Block hired Jeff Jones as its new CEO - Jones came from Uber. Jeff Jones is being paid over $14 million a year (plus perks), which results in a 879 to 1 ratio for CEO to median worker pay. The vast majority of seasonal tax preparers make about $10 an hour and given the trend of people doing their taxes online, the likelihood of this increasing grows ever dimmer. The commission incentive system is extremely weak, especially for those in their first years of working here. Most seasonal workers have 2nd and 3rd jobs, much like everyone else in America these days.
