Pros

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

Cons

There is quite a bit of downtime in-between customers, but this is also a pro because it means there is ample opportunity to get more customers through the door and banking with us.

Pros

Small Company Small Team New Building Moderate Workflow Need to be self-driven - getting work done by yourself with no help Some managers believe in Work Life Balance

Cons

Small Company Small Team System Issues Teams aren't good at collaborating If you're not able to complete work on your own without help, this is not the job for you. You might also be training yourself, looking for guides/guidelines yourself, and figuring things out on your own. Slow systems Too many meeting repeating the same information because no one can make a decision
