Pros
IT Project Manager in KC at HQ. Competitive compensation and benefits. Great team of folks working in IT. HRB is doing some things that really do help people in need.
Cons
End of the day, you're still working in Tax and Accounting... Innovating is tough in this industry. Paid tax-prep is struggling against do-it-yourself software so the company is facing an uphill battle to grow. As a result, they're growing income by raising prices. If continued, HRB will price itself right out of the market. Plus HRB faces stiff competition from other copycats like Liberty and JH. It's a progressive firm in a stagnant industry. There are pockets of huge incompetence in the organization.
