Seasonal Politics - Anonymous employee H&R Block Employee Review

Upwards of 98% of the company is seasonally employed. This means you will work a max of 10 months out of the year. Some positions only last 2 or 3 months. You get fired at least once a year, though they call it End of Season. There is little upward mobility, despite what the recruiting pitch says. Yes, you can receive a "promotion" but it may or may not come with increased pay. Some floor agents make more money than supervisors. Turn over rate would be astoundingly high to outsiders, but current and former employees understand why people don't stick around. Few managers are promoted from within, and those who are have questionable skill sets.
