Pros

I enjoyed the work I did and some of my co-workers. Plaza location was sometimes nice for shopping and restaurants.

Cons

The owners are terrible. Made the working environment very stressful when they are walking around cussing on the phone or at their employees. I once had in the bathroom when I knew the owner would be coming to talk to me about something, rather than my boss, and then I left early. No joke. I along with most other employees and even my manager, would ignore his calls and just listen to the voicemail mail, in attempt to try to avoid talking to them and getting yelled at. I once was screamed at for something I didn't do. Once I proved it wasn't me, they had no decency to apoligize. I almost walked out. Also, after my brother died, I was told I didn't get bereavement for that and I had to take PTO for his funeral. What a JOKE! Vacation is 2 weeks until AFTER you complete your TENTH year! Don't work here!!

Pros

They built a beautiful property. Their real estate side seems to be doing well. They have a big name in Kansas City.

Cons

I work on the multifamily side. They have no appreciation for the people working for them. I was so excited to come work for this company as Block has a big name in this area. But I will be exiting very soon as they treat their employees pretty badly. Very petty and only care about making money. Employee satisfaction is not any where near a priority.

Pros

Very few pros to mention. The one positive thing is that the job was mostly a 40-hour per week job. I rarely had to put in additional hours though it did happen from time to time.

Cons

Starting from the top down, the prevailing management style is to rule by fear and intimidation. I witnessed many employees getting berated or belittled by the Principals at BRES. I, personally, was the subject of a few verbal attacks during my time there. Communication was almost non-existent, nobody takes ownership of projects for fear of being chastised by management upon failure. I would absolutely classify this place a "hostile work environment". Reviews/bonuses/raises, etc happened so infrequently. I could go on and on. Do not walk away from this place - RUN!
