      Pros

      Understanding managers. Willing to help (if they can) with any requests. Working from home is allowed.

      Cons

      Too many silos. Hard to get anything done. Security overreaches to a point that it is hard to get anything done (instead of helping you to perform duties safely). Horrendous Network with latency that will make you cry. Almost no communication (showing signs of improvement)

      Pros

      40 hrs to volunteer... that's it

      Cons

      Favoritism at it's finest, managers that do not listen to their associates, no idea is a good idea unless they think of it, "little men" syndrome, pay is lowest in the industry, revolving door bigger than at PDX, big safe bubbles around those that have been here a long time, fair is not a word used, no empowerment unless at the store level, punishment does exist if you rock the boat, no one is honest about anything out of fear of losing their jobs, and google Toxic Bosses.

      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.
