Pros

I have worked at several high profile/brand recognizable companies that did not provide the work/life balance and job satisfaction that I currently enjoy at Umpqua Bank. Senior Leadership is business savvy, strategically minded and very thoughtful regarding the employees and maintaining the UB culture (fun, learning and supportive). My employer is thriving because of it's business acumen, willingness to evolve and by empowering the innovative/creative talent on staff. No wonder Umpqua is an employer of choice and 25th on Fortune's Top 100 Employers.

Cons

Like any growing organization there is opportunity to process improve and make strategic changes to the infrastructure ensuring continued and future successes.
