Pros

Company seems to take good care of full time and part time employees. Good benefits and very average vacation time. The Position Universal Associate is down played but basically you are responsible for everything. There are loan goals but it isn't the end of the world if you don't meet them. I had a great manager for a year and i half of my five years working for the company.

Cons

The company can be very "political". Raises are basically non existent and hard to come by. Often times hard work can go completely unnoticed. Management wasn't always supportive or consistent.

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.
