Block Employee Reviews

I personally enjoy the regular mental health days, great benefits (monthly Wellness stipend for gym, massages, fitness) and the many diverse groups that the company supports.

Working for Block, formerly known as Square when I started my employment, was very rewarding and beneficial to my life and career. Square was the first company to offer me stock investment annually.

Great benefits such as health and dental as well as discounts on childcare, gym memberships, etc.

The people are amazing, the benefits are good, and the pay is nice.

Good compensation, supportive managers and fun work culture.
