Pros

- people you work with are generally really nice. This company only hires people with great soft skills or at least tries to. - great culture. - great place to start your career in banking because you get to learn it all. You will be a teller, a banker, and a loan originator - all in one position called universal associate. - tuition reimbursement program. You get up to 3000 per year towards your tuition.

Cons

- your pay will be far below industry average. In nearly 4 years, the sum of all my raises is less than $1 and I was given a promotion twice. - the company constantly cuts associates' hours and there are a lot of layoffs. - very few career opportunities, especially in smaller cities. Want to be stuck in the same position for ages, never grow and never be challenged? Umpqua Bank is the perfect fit for you. - your effort is nearly never recognized or appreciated. Bottom line... This bank is not doing well anymore. Jump the ship or sink with it.
