Pros

40 hrs to volunteer... that's it

Cons

Favoritism at it's finest, managers that do not listen to their associates, no idea is a good idea unless they think of it, "little men" syndrome, pay is lowest in the industry, revolving door bigger than at PDX, big safe bubbles around those that have been here a long time, fair is not a word used, no empowerment unless at the store level, punishment does exist if you rock the boat, no one is honest about anything out of fear of losing their jobs, and google Toxic Bosses.

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.
