Pros

Salary and benefits are very competitive

Cons

Cultural is toxic in some groups. Too many layers of management, as the saying goes too many cooks in the kitchen. Many of the lending groups are very cliquey and they make it difficult for newbies or outsiders to fit in or welcomed.

Pros

Umpqua has good benefits. They are closed on the weekends.

Cons

Umpqua continues to be dead last in pay. They simply do not offer what other banks in the region offer. Umpqua will simply expect you do work like a salaried employee. They have such a bad turn over rate. It was a job that caused me constant anxiety because you are always guilty until proven innocent for even the smallest mistakes. They over work what employees they do have, and do not compensate accordingly.
