Pros

Much of the work is independent, and management cares about my happiness at work. There are lots of opportunities for training, and I've gained a lot of experience in my field. Good benefits.

Cons

I'm underpaid for my level of experience and location. No one will tell me what the pay range is for different departments or positions, which makes me suspect that the company pays too little compared to the rest of the industry. HR has told me that advancements to not come with raises.

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.
