Pros

you get paid for work, some cool people

Cons

Took away monthly bonuses, yearly merit increases are minimal and even a good review will still not mean an increase, does not promote those who worked hard for a position, terrible work life balance perspective, cares more for good reviews than employees mental health, not allowed unpaid days off claiming it’s the law when it’s not , they can allow unpaid days off but require all sick and vacation days to be used so if you have a family or responsibilities outside work you will be penalized.

Pros

Columbia Banking System has been a great place to work for thus far. The environment is enjoyable and the company itself is virtuous.

Cons

There is quite a bit of downtime in-between customers, but this is also a pro because it means there is ample opportunity to get more customers through the door and banking with us.

Pros

Great People, generous Vacation and Sick time, and decent facilities.

Cons

Poor communication from leadership. Typical "Good ol' Boys Club" type politics, and too many convoluted policies and procedures to keep up. Hard workers are awarded with more work, while others are allowed to skate by under the radar.
