Pros

They are an inclusive culture including gender differences, color, and residency. Though they prefer hybrid, they do allow fully remote. The hours are flexible with an "unlimited" PTO. There is an annual bonus, but it varies based on your level, experience, and performance.

Cons

For promotions, they focus on years of experience and climbing a specific ladder instead of skills and abilities. They have a habit of comparing your progress to others instead how you've improved. Also, for those who are highly skilled, Block moves you around based on their needs. Their health insurance is strange compared to most companies; using individualized deductibles on 2+ people plans.

Pros

If you get in the right office you can have amazing coworkers and can learn so much. You can gain a ton of experience and knowledge if you are willing to work and collaborate with other preparers. Training is robust and is there for you to utilize and work your way up to higher salary. The potential to earn a full years salary working for half the year once trained up to a higher level and build your book of business.

Cons

Communication is often not the best and in the offseason you are off boarded or get reduced salary and only work a day or two a week
