Pros

Busy seasons minimum 50 hour work weeks which seems much more flexible than Big 4 industry average in my opinion. I think this firm has more a work life balance than those who work at other firms and express their woes on the subreddit r/accounting. Great office culture and exposure to variety of industries including gaming, commercial, government, not for profit, and more. Open communication and a variety of benefits. Mid-size public accounting firm well-known and connected in the Reno area. High demand for accountants seeking quality experience in various client-facing industries. Worked with most mid cap to some high cap clients in the region. Corporate level is actively seeking to advance in technology to keep up with evolving industry standard.

Cons

Public accounting industry work can be rough during busy season. Mistakes and backlog can add up and increase pressure to make deadlines. Busy from Jan - May for 12/31 year end clients. Discouraged to study for CPA during work hours. Hard to focus on getting the CPA outside of work hour expectation. This seems to be a national industry issue. Many have succeeded adjusting to this lifestyle but many fail to meet the demands of the time constraints. Seems to be some sort of right of passage to see if you can manage since others have sacrificed sleep, diet, social life, and physical health to achieve the designation.

Pros

Great Benefits, professionally managed, the firm is working towards a diverse, team approach, and progressive workforce. Every employee has the resources to be successful in their job.

Cons

Eide Bailly is a CPA firm and has a very traditional partner/political structure - there are over 300+ partners who vote on the firm's direction. Because of this, the firm seems to move at a slow pace to change in the marketplace. If you don't have partner aspirations or have some type of owner equity (from a buyout), difficult to move up or thrive in career advancement; they are slow to update salary ranges based on the career market.
