Pros

Coworkers tend to be ok Pay and benefits are ok

Cons

The Columbia Bank "Merger" was a disaster All the best people have left Umpqua policies and procedures were forgotten or discarded, and we reverted to the smaller banks policies and procedures. Return to office has been a failure and they are doubling down on it More good people are leaving Communication from management about initiatives or changes is limited or inaccurate Top down management via decree Moving to micro management No remote, in office only No real vision
