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.

Pros

Good amount of holidays and PTO. Lifestyle spending account and remote work were great.

Cons

In an attempt to get me to leave, little by little, my job duties were taken over by others in the department. Partners let this happen and did nothing to help me. Eventually, they eliminated my role. I documented multiple instances where the work environment was incredibly toxic but no one cared. HR never even contacted me for an exit interview. My experience was that if you did not fit into the boys club you would not succeed. There was a culture of micro-aggressions, cruelty, and badmouthing others when they weren't in the room and excluding anyone who did not fit their views.
