Pros

The company has longevity in the market and great name recognition. The tax professionals and franchisees that are the engine of the company are dedicated and great employees. The company has a strong focus on continuing education.

Kontras

Layoffs in May are a common theme. As soon as tax season ends, the corporate staff start walking on eggshells. Even in years where the tax season went well, you can count on "right-sizing" occurring. Too much institutional knowledge is swept out the door on an annual basis. It doesn't seem like poor performers are the ones targeted for layoffs either. In their most recent wave of firings, employees who had just finished Block School (training offered to select few who are identified as future leaders in the company) were let go. Their actions do not match their mission statement. Check Linkedin every May for a new group of now former HRB employees announcing their departure.

Pros

Flexible availability. Path for promotion is obvious and quantified.

Kontras

Bonus/commission it is based on level and sales so is low in states without a state tax form. Hourly wage comes out of bonus. Pressure to sell items that don't add to your commission. They push customer surveys but you can be penalized if someone complains about the company, price, amount of emails etc even though you have no control. Some employees are frustratingly low quality and you will spend time helping or fixing their mistakes time that works against your commission. You are expected to answer phones, make appointments, scan, print, take money, help new comers all while maximizing returns. If you take over someone's client and find a mistake you are expected to work against your commission to file amendments peace of mind claims etc.
