Pros

It was close to home.....

Cons

Terrible communication between depts and employees. Laid off 1 year after company merger after being told that would not happen. I was with the Original company 20 years prior to merger.

Pros

Eide Bailly is a decent CPA firm to work for. They care about their employees and want them to succeed. They offer training, good benefits and an okay salary. Eide Bailly sends new staff to training that is referred to as levels. There are four levels and are done on an annual basis. The locations of the level trainings are typically at their four largest offices (Fargo, Denver, Minneapolis, and Salt Lake City). The benefits are pretty good for the size - some of them are adoption assistance, health insurance, 10 holidays, matching contribution allowance, 8 weeks maternity leave (2 weeks paternity leave), 20 days of PTO (22 for managers or 10+ years), 4% retirement contribution, tuition reimbursement, volunteer time, and. wellness benefit. Overall, a good place to gain experience with a good company culture.

Cons

One of the biggest cons is a lack of an HSA plan or really a second option for health insurance. There is only one option for health insurance which seems silly for the size of the company. As with any public accounting firm, long hours can be expected during busy season.

Worst public accounting firm ever

Pros

I was lucky enough to have a mentor that actually cared about teaching and filing returns that were accurate.

Cons

Terrible work environment. No focus on growing within (just keep acquiring a bunch of old school/non-paperless firms). Salary sucks. No incentive like other public accounting firms to stay and work long hrs (extra PTO, bonuses, good benefits....nope none of it). Basically you make less than minimum wage when all is said and done (oh and you have to dress up and be in the office EVERY DAY).
