      Pros

      The people at the Bank make it an incredible place to work and grow as a professional. Upper-management is extremely friendly and treat all levels with the utmost respect.

      Cons

      In reality, there are few downsides to working for this regional bank. It may be to small for some people but it is allows for plenty of opportunities.

      A stable but mediocre job

      Pros

      Columbia Bank provides good job stability, a conservative culture, and reasonable benefits. The company also emphasizes work/family balance and is flexible in providing time off. Since it is a bank, employees get all the bank holidays off, as well as a floating day for their birthday. Management does not micro-manage and most departmental and branch managers seem to have a pretty laid back approach. Internet and email use, while monitored, is largely unfettered. Fellow employees are mostly happy, laid-back people. The company is willing to pay for some education, as long as the employee commits to a minimum number of additional months or years at the bank.

      Cons

      Compensation is below market, as has been shown in a recent employee survey and in my own experience. The company is resistant to change and grows slowly; as a result, there is little opportunity for advancement. The resistance to change shows up in lots of little ways: senior management does not seek out employee input and largely ignores it when received; managers often "pass the buck" for problems not in their direct area of oversight; ineffective ways of doing things are held on to because that's the way they've always been done. Also, careerists tend to be less than ambitious, and there are more than a few lazy types spread throughout.
